Save the Cairo University Library

Guys just from few days I knew very disturbing news , very sad news that administration of Cairo University presented in its head Dr. Ali Abd El-Rahman decided to transfer the Cairo University Library place from its old historical building to a new ugly modern one

Already the transfer will be completed next month in December and the employees will be transferred to the new building which is near or behind the English section of the faculty of Commerce famous modern building as I heard

Guys this should n't be happened

The Library old building is historical one ,it was there since the opening of the University in the beginning of the 20th century

For God sake how this can happen !!??

Look if they want to modernize or to improve the Library , they can put the computers and micro films as they want in the beautiful wonderful old building , for God Sake all look to those old libraries buildings in Universities like Oxford or Harvard

Please stop this another insult to our history ,this disrespect , why can't we be proud for once by our history ??

This old building of the Cairo University Library is our history with all those books, researches and references , our past ,present and future

This old building saw the visits of great people from scientists to writers to law makers to regular people

This beautiful old building will be another office for the student affairs of the faculty of Arts in University !!?? Don't they have one already

I heard that the first lady is going to open the new building ,why can't they improve the old building with new technologies of those libraries in Harvard and Oxford and she can come and re-open it !!!

Why we are always impressed by those libraries in such in universities and how old they are and don't respect our library !!??

Another thing can you please someone tell me how much does it cost to have a new building !!?? and why can't the students ' affairs of the Faculty of Art transferred to it ??

Please stop this decision in a way or another

I feel so sad but at still I spoke
