At the invitation of Zainab Bint Al-Rasoul Basic School, located in the Jabal Al-Hashimi Al-Shamali area of Amman, Professor Dr. Rubhi Mustafa Alian — a professor of Library and Information Science — met with a group of female students in a reading event organized by the school librarian, Ms. Safaa Al-Shaer.
During the event, Dr. Alian spoke to the students about the importance of reading in a child's life and the role of the school library in developing critical thinking and fostering imagination and creativity. He emphasized that cultivating the habit of reading from an early age is a cornerstone in building educated and aware generations.
Dr. Alian created an atmosphere of enthusiasm and engagement by reading two of his own stories to the students. The first, “A Groom in the Battle of Karameh," highlighted a heroic episode from Jordan's national history. The second story, “When Dreams Come True," carried inspirational messages about perseverance and achieving one's aspirations.
At the end of the event, the school administration honored Professor Dr. Alian with a certificate of appreciation in recognition of his valuable participation and his efforts in promoting a culture of reading and spreading knowledge among students.
