"Venezuala's four-legged mobile libraries".
Libraries in Venezula are using mules as bookmobiles to "spread the benefits of reading to people who are isolated from much of the world around them". The mules trek up the dangerous slopes of the Andes mountains, loaded with books as they made thier slow but sure way up the slope. "Bibliomu-u-u-u-las!", the children shout as the bags of books are brought to the tiny town. For information on bibliomulas, go to BBC Mundo.
