A look at the people behind mobile libraries serving communities from Nigeria to the Netherlands.
Abstract:
--
Excerpt:
Buses in Lagos, shipping containers in the Netherlands and even a couple of Colombian donkeys are enjoying a new lease of life as bookmobiles, spreading knowledge in their communities.
Travelling from place to place, mobile libraries around the world aim to bring the benefits of reading to those without access to books.
The idea has been around since as early as the 19th century but - despite the availability of ebooks and increasingly widespread internet access - mobile libraries, also known as bookmobiles, have not disappeared.
