These days it is easy for most of us to get a hold of the latest books or magazines. We can go to bookstores order them through the Internet or borrow them from the local libraries. Now imagine having to walk miles and miles through a hot sandy desert just to borrow a book. This is the reality for people living in the villages of the Carissa region of Kenya in East Africa. In 1996 librarian Wycliffe Oluoch used to spend each day waiting for people to come to borrow some of the 24 000 books in his library in Carissa. The library had no shortage of books but people weren t coming to read them. It was too much effort to walk through the desert just to borrow books. Oluoch racked his brain for ways to entice people into the library. After a lot of thought he hit upon a great idea. If people wouldn t come to the library then he would have to take the library to them. Oluoch strapped boxes of books onto the backs of camels and created the Mobile Camel Library. Starting with three camels in 1996 but more recently expanding the service to six camels the Mobile Camel Library serves over one million people. Twice a month the camel library can be seen carrying books all around the Carissa region. These hard-working animals need little water and can carry up to 500 pounds of books across the sands. A librarian a library assistant a herdsman and a lookout all travel with the camels. The lookout helps protect the books from thieves. The children of Carissa love the camel library and appreciate Oluoch s effort. Eleven-year-old Mohamud Mohamed reads his library books carefully and always returns them on time. He knows the Carissa library punishes people for losing books just like any other .
