To the friends of Lebanon
To those of you who love books and reading
To all of you - around the world

Please help us

 Because the rebuilding of Lebanon must include not just buildings and infrastructure, but the mind and the soul...

 Because the greatest challenges to any successful rebuilding effort are religious hatred and violence...

 Because knowledge encourages an appreciation of diversity and strengthens efforts to live together...

 Because it is essential to know the past to be able to live together peacefully...

 So that our children can grow up and know something other than war and suffering...

 So that they have the opportunity to learn about the rest of the world and develop the ability to think critically...

 So that we in Lebanon can discover new ways to live together, to read together...
