Requests:  0 Summary:  "Daraya lies on the fringe of Damascus, just southwest of the Syrian capital. Yet for four years it lived in another world. Besieged by government forces early in the Syrian Civil War, its people were deprived of food, bombarded by heavy artillery, and under the constant fire of snipers. But deep beneath this scene of frightening devastation lay a hidden library. While the streets above echoed with shelling and rifle fire, the secret world below was a haven of books. Long rows of well-thumbed volumes lined almost every wall: bloated editions with grand leather covers, pocket-sized guides to Syrian poetry, and no-nonsense reference books, all arranged in well-ordered lines. But this precious horde was not bought from publishers or loaned by other libraries--they were the books salvaged and scavenged at great personal risk from the doomed city above"--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList
