CAIRO, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Greater Cairo Public Library (GCPL) serves as a historical memory for the Egyptian capital in particular and Egypt in general and a chronicle that preserves national identity, said the library's director general Yasser Othman in a recent interview with Xinhua.
"GCPL was established on the model of the Historical Library of the City of Paris, to serve as a historical memory that brings together the capital's heritage and history, documents Cairo's architecture and philosophy and sheds light on prominent foreign figures who lived in Cairo," Othman pointed out.
