In the small villages of Kenya(肯尼亚), Africa, most kids want to read books. But no roads go to their homes, only miles and miles of sand. Cars and trucks are not useful, s library books arrive on the backs of camels. Camels can handle(应付) the sand and the books. Two camels, a camel driver, and a librarian (图书管理员) w to the villages together. One camel carries about 180 kilos of books, and the other carries a tent. At each village, the librarian sets up the tent and shows the b to the kids inside. Two weeks later, the camels c back with new books.
