away and ended up opening a library.

was working and then it snowballed from there.Ipek and other garbage men started
gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills (垃圾填埋地) and as their collection started to grow，so did word of mouth.Soon，local residents
started donating books directly.The library was initially available only to the garbage
employees and their families to use but as the collection grew，so did public interest
and the library was opened to the public in 2017. “On the one hand，there were those who were leaving these books on the streets.On
the other hand，others were looking for these books，” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen
