     Baghdad / Ali Ataiwki 

    Just as anglers looking for pearls in the sea, so some governments were searching for heritage sites in their countries. Mackenzie Library , which mediates Rasheed Street, which was once the lifeblood of Baghdad represents a vibrant, turn into another profession, because of the negligence of the government to this street in general and the library in particular. 
    Faleh Hassan says novelist (range) , "Where McKenzie became the library, here is another milestone for beauty disappears from the scene. Mackenzie Library , which is located in the village head , the center Rasheed Street." 


    He said Faleh , "I wonder what will be the features of Kenneth Mackenzie Scottish founder of the library , which heard the news of the closure of the cultural mentor in Baghdad, how it will receive information like that , a soldier who left Scotland in World War One to fly to Baghdad and be the owner of the first library in the street." 
    He said the Iraqi al - Adeeb said , "What is the sense of the new owner, which is not indifferent Balasctlnde and his memory and is looking for a living is not interested in its history. Any play we watch and we see these monuments of ancient and is the one falling apart after the other , " and wondered "Why do not we hold on Srouhna and our streets and cities Why some people forcing us to go through at the end of life, I am my grandchildren, to tell them that Mackenzie Library was here one day. " 
    In turn, Sam Panama confirms bookseller (range) that "transforming traditional library are critical in the memory of Iraqi culture and has a great role in this culture to another profession and the elimination of features and landmarks in itself a crime." 
    He adds Panama " is assumed by the competent authorities and a long time ago to make of this library and Rasheed Street , a place of pilgrimage for tourists, but the government neglect of the street to make many of the owners of the libraries in the Rashid Street Altjion for such a project." 
    He continued that "Arab awakening library are also threatened by transforming the street from the cultural to industrial and briefing library spanking fat stores other has not been the culture of something that dignifying whereabouts Rasheed Street," surprising of the "protest against the Antiquities Authority and wondering where you were before the decision of the owner of the library and what role they presented for such a heritage places? ". 
     Through to Ahmed Abbas, a bookseller in Mutanabi Street, the news of his pain to transform Mackenzie Library commercial store to hear, saying it reveals government neglect of Rasheed Street in general. He pointed out that he "spoke with some members of parliament who are visiting Mutanabi Street on keeping the effects of the city, including the library , " he said , adding that "most of them assert their association with the heritage of Baghdad , but all shirk from doing turn toward it ." 
    He Ketbi "less than a year before I was inside the library and found the declaration of the library sale , which increased curiosity in the library to ask the owner about the reason for selling such a heritage place, but he replied bitterly , attributing it to the death of street culture." 
     For its part, the General Authority for Antiquities and Heritage of Iraq denounced what has happened inMcKenzie library heritage in the Rashid Street. 
    The authority said in a statement published by the "McKenzie library of important heritage libraries declared Tracha according to the statement No. 26 for the year 2011". 
    The agency said that " the library is located in a special king called House of Lange in the Rashid Street , " indicating that " the heritage and the offerer for Tracha library under the Antiquities and Heritage No. 55 of 2002 , the law may not change the functional capacity of the library without the approval of the archaeological authority which indicate (Article 28 , first) it is not permitted to encroach upon the advertised buildings in the official Gazette or demolition may not cancel its basic function granted by the adjective heritage. " 
    A statement by the Antiquities Authority , "as stated previously that a change in the functional capacity of the library McKenzie is a clear violation of the law of that article Legal above literally apply to the library , where she declared for Tracha located in a heritage street offerer for Trach and functional capacity , its library is given by the character of the heritage." 
    General Authority for Antiquities and saw the heritage he was "not the right of the property owner Cancel the functional capacity of the library as being contrary to the law of Antiquities and Heritage No. 55 for the year 2002. 
    The Mackenzie Library was established in 1924 by the Scottish Kenneth Mackenzie in Rashid Street. , And contributed to the library a prominent role in the definition of the reader Iraqi Bntegat role of Western Publishing. Library was closed in the nineties of the last century due to the difficult conditions of the blockade, the current owner decides to turn it into a commercial store.
