This article will discuss the history of Palestinian libraries under Israel from the founding of the state of Israel in 1948 until 1993, the date the Palestinian territories were returned to the Palestinian National Authority. However, for essential background we begin with a brief sketch of the development of Palestinian libraries from the Ottoman era through the period of the British occupation of Palestinian lands. |
