Camel Bookmobile

I just finished a book titled "Camel Bookmobile" it is by Masha Hamilton. It was about a young librarian, who wasn't quite sure why she pursued this career because she felt that she didn't fit the mold. She knew though, that she loved the feeling of helping a person find the right book and she felt that she was pretty good at it. She jumps at the chance to go to Africa to be part of a program where librarians help those in "the bush" become literate. This book is based on a true story and it is an enjoyable read. It will make you become aware that not all cultures place literacy high on their list and that the past is very important.
