Ich hab vor kurzem über das Camel Library Service in Kenia berichtet. Nun habe ich wieder ein interessantes Beispiel für eine mobile Bibliothek gefunden: die "floating library" am Kuskokwim River in Alaska.
Zitat: "Few kids around Bethel used to read while they were helping their parents and grandparents catch, clean and dry salmon at fish camp. But starting three summers ago, books can now be found in summer camps up and down the Kuskokwim River. What made the difference? The Kusko Book Express, a floating library sponsored by the Lower Kuskokwim School District. (...) The way it works is simple: Instead of hoping the kids will pack reading materials when they leave for fish camp, the district now brings the books to the students".
