The German-French Cultural Center brought a traveling library vehicle to
Gaza from the West Bank on May 16, which aims to instill a love of
reading in children by enabling them to read books at colorful chairs
and tables. The traveling library which remain in Gaza until August, and
made its first stop in the Huzaa town of Khan Yunis province, one of
the main targets of Israel's attack on Palestine in July 2014. Children
living in Huzaa previously had no access to a library. Thanks to the
traveling library, children are able to enter the magical world of
books, drawings and enchanting stories, as well as spending time with
the staff of the library enjoying entertaining activities.
Mahmud al-Askalani, the coordinator of the traveling library, told Anadolu Agency (AA) how the library works: "The traveling library offers its services in Gaza three months a year. Then we will head to West Bank and open the doors of the magical world of the books to children living there."
