If you follow the news, you’ll find that our world may very well seem like the preface of a bad 1950s dystopian novel.

Protectors of the Written Word helps us rediscover that our world is also filled with kind souls, showing humanity at its best. These wonderful human-beings aren’t just protecting books but humanity as a whole. In essence, this book shows evidence that we are in charge of our future. That we’re able to rise through incredible challenges, and foster a sense of unity helping us rise above our differences to provide the best possible opportunities for future generations.
