Their unwavering belief in education and personal service continues to guide the shop today. We don't just sell books; we build relationships across generations.

A FAMILY PARTNERSHIP

Built together with Layla

Joseph and his wife, Layla, worked side by side to build the bookshop and serve their community. Their perseverance, warmth, and personal attention shaped the character of Librairie Nadine and the relationships it continues to nurture across generations.

PROFESSIONAL LEADERSHIP

Advancing bookselling across Lebanon

After serving for many years as treasurer, Joseph was appointed to take on his current responsibility as head of Lebanon's booksellers' syndicate. His leadership reflects decades of practical experience, professional integrity, and commitment to the role of independent bookshops in education and culture.
