When you go to the library, what does it look like?  Is it a building with lots of shelves of books?  Are there lots of people there?  Well, not every community is lucky enough to have a library like that.  But that doesn't mean that the people don't want a library.  They just have other ways to get their books.  Like the children in the remote areas of Australia who visit their library on a truck.  Or the boat library in Finland.  And yes, even the camels who deliver books to the children of Kenya.
