If you haven't heard about MLP, you are not the only one. MLP is the abbreviation for Morocco Library Project. At first it began as one location and quickly became dozens servicing mainly southern and southeastern Morocco communities. The focus of MLP is teaching English classes and coordinating English writing clubs.

One thing I liked about MLP is that you can download stories written by students pdf format, have a cup of coffee, and start reading them.

Another thing I liked is Ferdawss Ben Malk's writing. It is very good. By the way Ferdawss Ben Malk is an avid reader and was a high school student in Taroudant and the coordinator of her school's new English club.
Enjoy her creative writing.

"Since my childhood, books were my distraction and my second world. I can live, travel, cry, and even die and I’m still in my place. Books gave me the chance to be the character that I want, and live the life that I want, just between papers.
I used to read Arabic and French books, but they weren’t my interest. Last year, my first year in high school, was a transmission station in my life. I become a member and then the coordinator of an English club in my school.
This chance opened in my face a lot of doors that I entered through to meet MLP. The project that brings me what I wanted years ago: English books that I never imagined I would read until years later and sometimes the bestsellers that I saw just on YouTube or internet, and dream to have them between my hands.
I once read that it is not books that have changed the world, but readers. And that is exactly what MLP did. It changed the Moroccan students’ minds. It inspired them and let them inspire the others. There is something magical in books or maybe there is a miracle, as Mrs. Barb likes to call it. Because as George R.R Martin said: a reader lived a thousand lives before he died.
Just in one year I was able to read more than 50 books. I cried with the characters as I rejoiced to their joy.
MLP is the best meaning of small ideas having a big effect. I am really happy to be part of this amazing project that gave me the opportunity to motivate the people in my community.
Books and reading are the power of human mind, so let’s feed this mind to get in tune with a world free of ignorance and spread peace by our ideas and make the world a better place."
