This project was housed in a former bomb shelter and had no walls, doors, or guards. The Garden Library sees access to books as a fundamental human right offering the possibility of both escape and shelter from daily misfortunes. The library's collection consists of approximately 3,500 books in Mandarin Chinese, Amharic, Thai, Tagalog, Arabic, French, Spanish, Nepalese, Bengali, Hindi, Turkish, Romanian, and English. Situated in a poor neighborhood of Tel Aviv, the library is only open at night because the refugee community it serves can bring their children here only after work. While I photographed, drug deals and prostitution were taking place all around us. I warily made images using my tripod in this sketchy garden park while Ellen watched my back. As we have seen in many places, the library was a calming harbor in a sea of trouble and struggle.
