"When Islamic State (IS) militants occupied Mosul University in June 2014, they set about destroying its precious collection of manuscripts in a show of contempt for culture and higher education.
Now though, in an attempt to rebuild Mosul's cultural heritage, a campaign is under way to restore the university library and others in the city."
