Description
After 14 years of providing youth with literature and a place to read, the war in Iraq has destroyed the local library in Basra. The true account of Alia Muhammad Baker, the librarian in Basra, tells us how she attempts to save the library, while reminding us that the joy of reading and thirst for knowledge has no boundaries--even in war-torn nations where all may seem lost.
