The Al Marfa Library collection covers a wide range of subjects – beginning with children’s books and extending to specialized books for researchers and academics, including a special collection on the oil and gas industry. More than 20,000 books are arranged across three reading halls and a children’s library. 
The children’s library offers a wide range of books, especially for children 5 to 12 years old, and an Activity Room for storytelling, puppet shows and movies. 
One of the library’s highlights is a section for research-oriented books on religion, politics and other specialized subjects. Another section is dedicated to the recently published books, about 2,000 in all.
The Study Room offers a quiet space with a number of Arabic and English periodicals and popular magazines. The Computer Corner provides access to computers with internet connectivity. The library assists visitors in using library indexes and subject-specific reference material
