The public libraries in Dubai have children's sections but they are not suitable for children less than 6 years of age. <em>edited by AnonDubai on 30/07/2011</em>

Yep, Ductac - Old Library at Emirates Mall is the best, and probably the only place good enough. You can borrow upto 8 books for a whole month, and if you aren't able to visit them during work hours (and need to return the books), you have the facility of a dropbox located outside - of course, you'll have to return by due date :--) Plus, if you can't find what you're looking for, they have a facility of requesting the books, and if they find them, the library will have them. GO FOR IT!

The library at MOE would probably have the best selection for your kids, but don't expect any of the libraries here to be anywhere near as good as back home! The public ones have odd hours and v. limited selection...good luck!
