<p class="MsoNormal">Library work is usually perceived as being practiced only indoors, but in developing countries the promotion of education, reading and books needs to happen wherever people are. This has lead to creative approaches to the old model of book mobiles.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of my favorite examples include a <a title="BBC report on Camel Library" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/05/africa_kenyan_camel_library/html/1.stm">mobile library in Kenya</a> which aims at providing library services to some of the nomadic tribes in the country. This seems like the perfect approach given limited resources, and the communities needs. IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations) has also written about the subject. Their article is <a title="ifla camel library" href="http://www.ifla.org/V/press/pr0228-02.htm">here. </a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Colombia has a <a title="biblioburro" href="http://www.senderos.gov.co/experiencias/Articulos/133/Default.aspx">“biblioburro”</a> in the state of Magdalena. A local professor saw the need children had to access books, so he created his own mobile library, traveling the area with donkeys. Only in the land of García Márquez do donkeys and books come together so gracefully. There is actually an entire blog dedicated to a similar project in the Sierra Nevada; accesses the blog <a title="biblioburro blog" href="http://www.biblioburro.blogspot.com/">here</a>. <a title="biblioburro blog" href="http://www.biblioburro.blogspot.com/"> </a></p>
<div>08.05.07 &#8211; The BBC recently had an article about another Biblioburro project, this one based in Venezuela. The program began with the University of Momboy, and while they started only bringing book for rural Andean communities, they are expanding to include a few laptops and projectors for the community to use as well. You can read more about it <a title="bibliomurro bbc venezuela" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/6929404.stm">here</a>.</div>
<div>Image info <a title="Camel mobile library bbc" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/05/africa_kenyan_camel_library/html/1.stm">here</a>.</div>
<p>08.16.07 &#8211; The magazine Gatopardo has another article on the donkey book mobile project in Colombia which you can find <a title="Gatopardo bilioburro" href="http://www.gatopardo.com/noticia.php3?nt=1647">here</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Usualmente percibimos el trabajo de bibliotecas como una profesión que solo se practica dentro de edificios de una clase u otra, pero en algunos países en desarrollo la promoción de la educación, la lectura, y los libros debe tomar lugar donde quiera que hayan personas que necesitan los servicios. Esto a creado nuevas y creativas opciones del viejo concepto de bibliotecas móvil.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Algunos de mis ejemplos favoritos incluyen una <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/05/africa_kenyan_camel_library/html/1.stm">biblioteca móvil en Kenia</a> que presta servicios de biblioteca a varias tribus nómadas a través del país. Esta parece una solución perfecta dado el limite de recursos  y las necesidades de la comunidad. IFLA (Federacion Internacional de Asociación de Bibliotecas) también ha escrito sobre el tema; el articulo lo puede encontrar <a href="http://www.ifla.org/V/press/pr0228-02.htm">aquí</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En el estado Colombiano de Magdalena puede encontrar al <a href="http://www.senderos.gov.co/experiencias/Articulos/133/Default.aspx">“biblioburro”</a>. Un profesor de la región vio que los niños del área necesitaban acceso a libros así es que decidió crear una biblioteca móvil que se desplaza en el área a lomo de burro. Solo en la tierra de Gracia Marque se unen los burros y los libros con tanta gracias. Y es mas, hay un blog entero dedicado a un proyecto similar en la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Entre al blog <a href="http://www.biblioburro.blogspot.com/">aquí</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">08.05.07 – Hace poco la BBC saco otro articulo sobre otro biblioburro, esta vez basado en Venezuela. El programa empezo en la Universidad de Momboy repartiendo libros, pero ha crecido y ahora también reparten computadores portátiles, y proyectores que toda la comunidad puede usar. Puede leer mas acerca de este proyecto <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/6929404.stm">aquí</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Información sobre la imagen <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/05/africa_kenyan_camel_library/html/1.stm">aquí</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">08.16.07 – La revista Gatopardo tiene otro articulo sobre el biblioburo Colombiano que puede leer <a href="http://www.gatopardo.com/noticia.php3?nt=1647">aquí</a>.</span></p>
