Garbage collectors in the Turkish capital Ankara are recycling the books they find in the trash. They have
created a mobile library. The library is full of books that people have thrown away. There are now over 9,000
books on the library's shelves. The library is inside a truck that tours schools in the suburbs of Ankara. The
garbage collectors hope to create a greater passion for reading books in children, especially in the age of
mobile phones and tablets. Many schools do not have a reading room or their own library.
The library has got a lot of attention in Turkey. There is now a campaign for it to grow. People from all
over Turkey are sending their unwanted or old books to the garbage collectors. The director of the library said:
"The interest is growing. Each day we have guests coming here to borrow books or have a quiet time to read."
A worker at the mobile library said: "We have books here for children aged from six to ten, but also books for
older children. We hope that it will amuse them and arouse a passion for books." Turkey currently has just one
public library for every 70,000 people, compared to one for every 6,200 people in the European Union.
