The Lebanese National Library Foundation, a private association created in 2000 to support the vast enterprise of rehabilitation of the National Library, chaired by Randa Daouk, presents the exhibition «Bitassarof» in the reading room of the Library in Sanayeh, whose theme was born from a paging error of the book «one hundred years of the press in Lebanon, 1858-1958» published by the Lebanese Foundation. Very freely, 55 Lebanese artists from different schools and generations have offered the foundation their  creations inspired by this revisited book.
