libraries in Abu Dhabi
 
I did some search on whether there are public libraries in AD and discovered that there aren't any. Is this still the case?

Are there any private libraries which has a good selection of board (baby's) books and books for 1-3year olds?

Our 1 year old loves books and we go to the public library to borrow board books every 3 weeks.

I think you'll be better going to bookshops. I've been in Abu Dhabi a couple of years and never noticed a library...am sure they have them though.

The Club at Mina has a library but I think it's for their members only.

yes the group you mentioned.

Would I have to join the group as memeber or The Club to gain access to the library?

Yes I am sure you would need to join the Club since Club members also have to pay an extra fee if they want the library facility. Best to check with the reception next time you are there with AD Mums.
