Under President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan's leadership, this vision continues with a focus on human development and inclusive education.
Sheikh Nahyan also mentioned that the Inclusive Library aligns with the Year of the Community 2025 initiative announced by His Highness the President.

At Mubadala, empowering youth is seen as essential for building an inclusive future. The library serves as a source of inspiration and personal growth.
The Inclusive Library was developed over more than a year with financial and volunteer support from Mubadala. Students will manage it themselves, providing them with leadership opportunities and fostering responsibility. This approach aims to enhance their sense of community participation.
