Biblioburro: A traveling library that distributes books to patrons from the backs of two donkeys, Alfa and Beto.
Luis Soriano, and elementary school teacher from La Gloria, Columbia, came up with the idea of Biblioburro after witnessing first-hand the power reading had on his students. Since the late 1990s, Soriano has traveled to communities in Colombia's Caribbean Sea hinterlands with a portable library, which began with only 70 books.
Awesome.
