Garbage collectors in Ankara, Turkey, started noticing an increasing number of books being thrown away. Rather than let them end up in landfills, they began rescuing the books. Initially, they shared the books with colleagues and families. As the collection grew, they decided to create a public library in an abandoned brick factory within the Çankaya district.

The library has been a huge success. It offers a wide range of books and even has a mobile library built into a converted garbage truck to reach more people. It’s become a community hub, a place to promote literacy and the joy of reading.
