There is nothing «Vannak» Alemrakachip Pal «Vannak» French, is the secret of fame "People's Lebrary" Morocco, just as long as it is not left behind a rich history dating, in part, the struggle against French colonialism, in particular.

The belief that «« library people »opened in 1941, and was selling books of religion and speech. The story began with my father, Mohamed Belhadj and his friend Mehdi Al-Ketbi Algiers, and were involved in the Independence Party, and has been jailed and their denials by colonialism more than once, with the "People's Lebrary" like a blanket and camouflage to arrange dates for secret meetings between national houses are not even certain to raise Attention, particularly as it exists in the cut «shortcomings», which was known palliatives for resistance and national, such as enduring because Moulay Ahmed, Abdullah Ibrahim ».Make Moroccan friends
