The Librarian Of Basra by Jeanette Winter, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Alia Muhammad Baker's library in Basra, Iraq, has been a meeting place for those who love books for the past fourteen years. Now war has come, and Alia fears that the library-along with the thirty thousand books within it-will be destroyed forever. In this incredible true story of a war-stricken country where civilians seem powerless in the face of battle, this feminist and inspirational tale about a librarian's struggle to save her community's priceless collection of books reminds us how, throughout the world, the love of literature can unite us all. | The Librarian Of Basra by Jeanette Winter, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
