The Qatar National Library in Doha was designed by Rem Koolhaas of OMA for the Qatar Foundation. The library is a non-profit under the foundation's umbrella. The infobox gives 19 November 2012 as established, which matches when plans were announced rather than when the building was finished. The text says construction began after 2012 but gives no start date. It also conflicts on the opening, citing April 2018 in one passage and a soft opening in November 2017 in another. The official inauguration was April 16, 2018.
The article gives no style, materials, dimensions, floor area or cost. It names learning spaces, a children's library, a café and a restaurant.
The library closed during COVID-19 and reopened in July 2020. Registration is free for Qatari citizens and resident permit holders, and many events are free. The article gives no opening hours.
