Syria's Secret Library

The secret library is in the basement of a bombed building in a heavily shelled area of Darayya. While the streets above echo with rifle fire the secret world below is a haven of peace and tranquillity. More than 14,000 books are stacked neatly on home-made shelves. Those within read quietly, drinking tea on comfortable sofas and chairs. A small oasis of normality in a country at war with itself.
