In 2009 the Bibliothèque nationale de France(BnF) donated half a million books to the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) to develop its Francophone Library. This generous gift will now be further enriched by a new agreement signed between the BnF, Electre, and the BA, whereby 1500 books will be donated annually by Electre over the next three years, a period renewable by the three parties. The partnership agreement was signed by Philippe Beauvillard, President of Electre; Bruno Racine, President of BnF; and Serageldin as Director of the BA.
