The Librarian of Basra: A True Story From Iraq
Based on a true event, this book tells how the librarian at Basra enlisted the help of the community to save over 70 percent of the collection in the library. The library was burned in the war and conflict that engulfed Basra, Iraq in 2003.
The story can provide a springboard for discussion regarding the love of books and literature, the importance of libraries in a community, a respect for knowledge, the implications of war on individuals and communities and the war in Iraq.
The illustrations, similar to the Ted Harrison style, present a rich resource for viewing and representing.
