Nablus Library Nablus Library is the oldest and largest public library in the West Bank. The library was established by the municipality of Nablus with aid from the Jordanian government in 1960. The building itself is a 19th-century Ottoman-era structure, which had a former life as a cafe. Surrounding the library building is a garden, used as a community space for lectures and events. During the First Intifada, while most schools and universities in the West Bank were shuttered, Nablus Library remained open. In the late 1990s the library opened a children's department for the first time. As of late 2013, the library is constructing an audiovisual room.
