‘A Million Books for Lebanon’ Campaign Aims to Restore War-Damaged Libraries

Lebanese cultural groups have launched “A Million Books for Lebanon,” a campaign to collect books and rebuild libraries destroyed or damaged by Israeli attacks.

The initiative focuses particularly on southern Lebanon, where affected libraries need support to restore their collections and reopen their doors.

Book donations are central to the effort, linking the replenishment of library shelves with the broader task of rebuilding damaged cultural spaces.

The campaign seeks to bring these libraries back into use, helping restore access to books in communities affected by the war.
