So it wasn't like that kind of idea that come in a spark of a moment.

Before establishing the library, there was many people who loved reading and collecting books.

You know, they are existed anywhere.

So perhaps some of them were walking and they would find a book and then, wow, it's a book.

Let me check it.

They would clean it and they would keep it somewhere safe.

And then some of these friends recognized that they have this mutual interest in saving the books between the rubble.

So it gradually developed into a shared collective project, the library.

So let's make commonplace for everyone.

Everything was more circumstances.

Everything was destroyed.

People were dying everywhere.

So people went and collected some shelves and some wood from a warehouse.

And then they brought some sofa from the same building.

That's the world circumstances.

You don't have the options to buy sofa.

You don't have the options to ask people for permission because you don't know who lives in this building.

With the siege, the safest place to build the makeshift library was underground.

The regime started producing something they called barrel bomb.

It's a regular barrel.
