I could not get a proper photo of the library. However, it is part of the Al-Fatih Mosque, which is so beautiful, I got this picture of the mosque.
It is named after the Islamic character Muhammad Al-Fatih son of the Ottoman Sultan Murad II. He conquered Constantinople, Istanbul now. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) mentioned this long before “"You will conquer Constantinople. Its commander is the best and its army (that will conquer it) is the best." And of course, Al Fatih is the name of the known mosque in Istanbul.
I got loads of books on introduction to Islam in different languages. I got them because I want to contribute on conveying Islam to non-Muslims I meet every day. I just feel I lack courage although I am really keen to do so. Anyone with an advice on this?

Asalmu aliakum, sis!
MashaAllah, I love that you take your kids to the library. When I was living in Sharjah, UAE, I used to live right next to the Public Library. It was hugeeeeee and unfortunately 'empty of people'. In fact, at one point, I used to go every day- the guard actually asked me "Do you work here?" He was that surprised that somebody was visiting it a lot. Sad. SubhanAllah, we are supposed to be Ummat Iqra but I heard that Arabs read like the least :(
Anyways, I think it's GREAT that you got books to introduce Islam to others. One way of doing it is through your blog if you are shy to go up to people and talk to them. I was actually planning to talk about something like this,inshaAllah on my blog (but I always get side tracked, lol). Also, say that your kids are in a school and they have like a Western English teacher, be very courteous and friendly -- that may get them interested :D
MashaAllah at the nice little project you did with your son :)
Sarira, you are so right it is so sad, it is unusual to find ppl who read.I was thought of accentric cos Loved reading a lot at young age, & decided not to talk about reading anymore LOL..
