Summary
In January 2011, in a moment that captured the hearts of people all over the world, thousands of Egypt's students, library workers, and demonstrators surrounded the great Library of Alexandria and joined hands, forming a human chain to protect the building from vandalism during government protests. They chanted "We love you, Egypt!" as they stood together for the freedom the library represented.
