The President of Yarmouk University, Prof. Zeidan Kafafi, met the Director of the Development at Leatherby Library of Chapman University, Israa Nawar and the Director of Shoman Library, Ghalib Masoud. During the meeting, Kafafi emphasized how libraries function as centers of creativity and culture and how they play a role in providing academic and cultural services, such as refining the individual's cultural personality and expanding his/her perceptions. Al-Hussein Bin Talal Library at Yarmouk University is keen, he added, to attract students to visit the library and encourage them to educate themselves in the various fields of knowledge. Kafafi then talked about Yarmouk’s profound belief in people’s need for books and reading to contribute to the development of the individual and society, which results in the popularization of cultures and thoughts and the acceptance of the other. Thus, Kafafi emphasized the necessity of establishing a partnership between Al-Hussein bin Talal Library and the Library of Leatherby at Chapman University, which leads to exchanging the experience among the administrative staff of the two libraries and developing the library services provided to university students and independent researchers.

In her turn, Nawar acknowledged the advanced, high-level services provided by Al-Hussein Bin Talal Library at Yarmouk University, considering it one of the leading libraries in the Arab world. Then she emphasized the importance of university libraries at cultivating students and preparing them to lead positive change and advancement of societies. Also, she explained that university libraries provide people with a large space for exchanging ideas and sharing each other’s perspectives.

Noteworthy that Nawar, during her visit to the University, gave a lecture at Al-Hussein Bin Talal University Library entitled "The Effect of Exhibitions and Events in Encouraging Reading and Literacy in University Libraries". She spoke of her personal experience in the field of the development of libraries. She then recommended paying close attention to the importance of holding events that attract students to the library and motivate them to see the library's references and scientific resources, which usually spreads the love of reading among people.
