¡¡Andale, andale!!

I am completely enchanted with the idea of the Biblioburro. Luis Soriano is a Colombian teacher who has started a private mobile library for the battered rural area around his hometown of La Gloria. He has a collection of 4,800 books, which he personally circulates by donkey every weekend. How cool is that?! To have books delivered by donkey!

There’s an excellent article about Luis y tus burros en el International Herald Tribune: http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/10/20/america/colombia.php


Though a world apart from Colombia in terms of socio-economics and urban development (not to mention a world apart in terms of the actual world), Dubai also lacks library institutions. I recommend that we establish Ktab bil-Camel!
