Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl who has been nominated for the Nobel
Peace Prize for challenging terrorists in her country by fighting to
promote the right of women for education - says "Books are the weapons
for fighting terrorism".
With these words, the 16-year-old

metres, the library is the largest in Europe and holds one million
books, including the first editions of various works by William
Shakespeare.
In her address, Malala — who was attacked in
Peshawar, Pakistan, on 9 October 2012 and rushed to Great Britain where
she was hospitalized and now lives — emphasized the value of a culture
which promotes societies based on peace. In her fight against global
illiteracy, Malala has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
