The Good Stuff
Book section
The shop carries Arabic textbooks, literature and books for learning Arabic, alongside English titles.
School shopping
Parents and students can find supplies for school projects, science work and children’s activities in one stop.
Craft supplies
Art and hobby shoppers mention paints, embroidery kits, modelling clay and children’s craft kits.
Card discounts
Esaad and Fazaa card holders are reported to receive special discounts.
Reasonable prices
Some customers describe the stationery and activity supplies as reasonably priced or good value.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check stock. Call ahead only if necessary, but allow for unanswered calls; stock checks by phone have been a recurring problem.
Allow time. Build in extra time for printing rather than visiting with a tight deadline, as customers have reported slow service.
Compare prices. If cost matters, compare prices before buying: reviews range from good prices to reports that items are higher-priced elsewhere.
Bring cards. Bring an Esaad or Fazaa card and ask about the reported discount before paying.
Ask alternatives. For an unavailable item, ask whether another branch has stock, but verify the answer carefully because one customer was misdirected.
Printing check. Confirm the copying arrangement and price before proceeding; one review says the AED 1 rate applied to 10 copies of the same paper.

The Bottom Line
Dubai Library Distributors is a useful Al Warqa stop for school shopping, stationery and learning materials. Reviews mention supplies for school projects and children’s activities, Arabic textbooks and literature, and a sizeable art-and-craft selection. One detailed account lists paints, felt tips, paper, card, polymer clay and modelling materials, so artists and parents may find more depth here than in a basic stationery shop.
There is also a book section with Arabic and English titles, including books for learning Arabic and Quran translations. Customers describe the range as broad enough to cover everyday stationery as well as educational and hobby needs, and some call the prices reasonable. Others say prices are a little high or higher than competing stores, so comparison may be worthwhile for larger purchases.
Esaad and Fazaa holders are reported to receive special discounts. The main caution is service consistency. Recent feedback mentions too few staff, slow service and unanswered phone calls.
Printing has attracted specific complaints about printer jams, long waits and unclear copying arrangements. If you need documents urgently, allow extra time and confirm the price and copy format first. For stock questions, calling may not work reliably; checking in person could save a frustrating follow-up.
