On January 13, one of the planes from the Turkey-based Pegasus Airlines skidded off the runway after landing, managing to stop entirely at the edge of a cliff just above the Black Sea. Luckily, the six crew members and all 162 passengers aboard the flight survived the ordeal.

Now, in the days since the plane has been removed from the north-central Turkey city of Trabzon, local Mayor Ohran Fevzi Gümrükçüoğlu is asking Pegasus Airlines’ General Manager Mehmet Tevfik Nane to gift the plane to the city so that it can be used as a library. The Mayor explained that repurposing the plane and keeping it in the city might “…erase the bad memories attached to the plane.”

Unusual as it may sound, there are a number of repurposed spaces throughout Turkey that double as libraries. Examples of these unconventional libraries can be found in the Black Sea town of Giresun where oversized piggy banks house both books and toys for residents to use freely.

While the proposal seems to have been favorably received, details will still need to be worked out by both sides.
