As part of ‘Mabrouk Ma Yak’ service

Ministry of Culture Grants Free Lifetime Public Library
Memberships to Emirati Newborns

Abu Dhabi, March 21, 2025: In celebration of Emirati Children’s Day, the Ministry of Culture

(MOC) has announced granting free lifetime memberships to MOC-affiliated public libraries for
newborn Emirati citizens. This initiative, introduced as part of the ‘Mabrouk Ma Yak’ service, aims

to enhance MOC’s efforts to promote the culture of reading from an early age and facilitate access
for children and parents to a wide range of cultural and educational resources, in alignment with

the National Reading Month.

Through this initiative, MOC aims to instil a love of reading in children from an early age and

strengthen the role of families in fostering knowledge and learning. This, in turn, contributes to
building a well-informed and culturally enriched society capable of driving national development.

By ensuring seamless access to a diverse collection of books and educational resources, the

initiative empowers parents to nurture a reading culture within their homes, reinforcing the value
of lifelong learning.

Emirati citizens can seamlessly activate this service using their Emirati ID through the ‘Usrati

Bundle,’ an integrated, proactive platform that connects government services across various

federal and local entities. Designed to support Emirati citizens in building their families and
fulfilling their needs, the ‘Usrati Bundle’ eliminates the need for a separate application, reflecting

MOC’s commitment to streamlining government procedures and enhancing accessibility in line
with the Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme.
