Apart from that the library provides children with the ability to borrow books.
Madaa Center opened its library in 2007, where it started out in a very modest way containing only one book shelf holdingtwenty children's books. With the center’s faith and conviction that the process of inclination begins with the first step to be the first library in the village of Silwan, in 2009 the library jumped a qualitative leap, buying more than three thousand books, covering all subjects in Arabic and English. Currently, the number of books reaches more than six thousand books. The library includes a special section for children and an archive of major local and Arabic newspapers.
