“Safe Corners” in Tarqumiya: Where Books Meet the Heart

In a unique and meaningful step, the Tarqumiya Municipality Library, in collaboration with the Sharek Youth Forum, launched the “Safe Corners” initiative—an inviting and serene space inside the library. This corner is not just a place for reading; it is a sanctuary for children and adolescents, offering them a safe environment to express their feelings, strengthen their concentration, and discover the joy of learning while immersing themselves in the world of books.
The charming town of Tarqumiya, situated northwest of Hebron, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and fertile agricultural lands, where olives and grapes have long thrived. Today, Tarqumiya adds yet another layer of beauty and meaning to its cultural and agricultural richness: a quiet literary haven that reflects the community’s commitment to nurturing a love of reading and providing emotional support to future generations.
“Safe Corners” is more than an initiative—it is a message. It reminds us that reading is not only a gateway to knowledge but also a path to mental well-being, and that community spaces can serve as havens of safety, growth, and inspiration for our youth.
