Who would have thought of creating a library in a war zone where danger surrounds people? But a few book lovers have built an underground library in Darayya, Syria, which provides learning, hope and inspiration.

Anas Ahmad is one of the founders of the library and he is a former civil engineering student.

Many times he and his friends risk their lives to collect books from destroyed(被毁坏的) houses near the front line(前线). That means they have to be very careful when they go through bombed-out buildings; they have to hide themselves from snipers(狙击手).

Since the library was built, its creators have collected more than 14,000 books from abandoned(被弃置的) houses and buildings. “We saw that it was important to create a new library so that we could continue our education,” said Ahmad.

People throughout the city have put the library to good use. Doctors in the town are using the books to continue their studies and treat patients; these books even help them perform operations. Teachers are using the books to prepare classes in the war town. Unluckily, children will not be found in the library as it is too dangerous to walk there.

“You can read about everything in books,” said one reader in the library. “They provide hope for us and help us find light in the darkness.”
