Librarians in the desert

Sandra's mother used to drive the bookmobile for the Holden library, bringing books to people around town. She had to be a skilled driver to maneuver such a vehicle through the narrow town roads.
There are places in the world, however, where even the most intrepid librarian has to step out of the van. It's time for Camel Mobile Library (via Kenya: The Camel Mobile Library Service « ResourceShelf).

Each year, the camels bring more than 7,000 books to nomads in Kenya's impoverished North East Province, often because camels are the only means of crossing the inhospitable terrain.
