TOPSHOT - The burnt Central Library in the Faysaliyah quarter in Iraq's northern city of Mosul is pictured on April 17, 2019. - For centuries, Mosul was known for its artists and writers, for libraries brimming with books in multiple languages, and for housing Iraq's first printing press. But when the Islamic State group seized the city in 2014, it banned any texts deemed un-Islamic and burned treasured archives. Those gems were all destroyed in February 2015, when IS fighters looted the Central Library and systematically destroyed other collections, despite howls of protest locally.
