::The National Library seems less prestigious. Information professionals and members of the Association of Librarians of Lebanon develop projects, which find little echo among officials. Finally, it was an expert mission by the National Library of France, in 1994, which alerted to the urgency of saving the documents and drew up an initial rehabilitation plan 1 . The boxes are stored in a drier warehouse, and a temporary room is assigned to the National Library, too narrow to envisage large-scale rescue operations. A few dozen cases are opened, inventoried, the books cleaned, but very quickly the scale of the task exceeds the means made available. The library risks being forgotten in the mysteries of a bureaucracy that does not concern itself with planning its action.<ref>"History of the LNL", Lebanese National Library, http://bnl.gov.lb/english/history.html, accessed 8 December 2022.</ref> | ::The National Library seems less prestigious.
