The open air library is once again open!

The Open Air Library on the highest mountain of Buyukada is once again open. Kerem aka Argos Libertos managed to open it again after the police forced him to shut it down last year but they were no match to his persistance. Kerem cured well from his jump from 3 high in the centre of Istanbul and could walk well again after being operated, first half year with help of a stick. His library has now signed works of dutch poets Arjen Duinker, Tonnus Oosterhoff, K.Schippers and Alfred Schaffer who by means of Bart van der Pligt were kind enough to donate books. When you’re in Istanbul you should surely stop by and please bring a book or two!

    Seriously, this guy is really persistant. Kuddo’s to him. But he jumped because they closed his library? I must say it is a bit crazy, but ok, he lives for a cause.
    I must say when I visit istanbul, I will surely bring some books! Are the books of the Dutch poets actually written in Dutch? How will people be able to read it there?
