The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is an extraordinary structure, rebuilt to bring back to life the mythic complex existing in Hellenistic times. It started its activity in 2002, and since then it has offered its visitors (about 1.500.000 each year) a myriad of activities in the fields of arts, history, science, philosophy. Yasmine Samir Kelada has been working at the BibAlex since  its opening, covering different positions; she has therefore seen the BibAlex developing and increasing its function in the Alexandria cultural scene.
