When I worked at the Eau Claire Public Library, I was the backup driver for their Bookmobile service to area nursing homes and senior centers. We had a van. But in Kenya, “ships of the desert are the best way to travel.”
From the BBC News comes a photo journal of the Camel Mobile Library.

“A static library would be of no use to nomads and so instead we follow them, wherever they go. . . . We travel within a radius of 11km on a given day. As the camels arrive, the children are actually waiting for us. The day we come is fixed and they are expecting us.” |
Thanks to my colleague, Lisa Pfaff for the tip.
