Creating community-based informal libraries:A case study in Arsal, Lebanon
Creating Community-Based Informal Libraries in Arsal, Lebanon, empowered refugee children to share their lived experiences through storytelling, culminating in a bilingual book now in production.
Led by Reaching Across Borders (RAB), the project transformed a tent into a vibrant library and creative hub, fostering literacy, dignity, and hope. Despite regional instability, the initiative continues to inspire future replications and academic outputs, with plans for a global book launch and expanded library network.
