Requests:  0 Summary:  Long a site of peaceful resistance to the Assad regimes, Daraya fell under siege in 2012. For four years no one entered or left, and aid was blocked. Bombs fell on this place of homes and families. A group searching for survivors stumbled upon a cache of books; in a week they had six thousand volumes; in a month fifteen thousand. A sanctuary was born: a library to escape the blockade, offering Arabic poetry, American self-help, Shakespearean plays and more. Over text messages, Minoui came to know the young men who gathered in the library, exchanged ideas, learned English, and imagined how to shape the future, even as bombs kept falling from above. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 956.91042 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Minoui Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 956.91042 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
