The Little Library That Could

  • Sharing books with the families of Istanbul.

    The Little Library That Could, a program of OSEYAD (Okumayı Sevdirme ve Yaygınlaştırma Derneği), specializes in literature for children of all ages.  The bulk of the collection is in English.  We also have books in Turkish (Türkçe), German (Deutsch), French (Français), Farsi (فارسی), Italian (Italiano), Spanish (Español) and Russian (русский).

    At OSEYAD and the Little Library That Could, we believe that every child deserves access to books and a welcoming space to foster a love of reading.
