The New York Times online is running a great story today: Acclaimed Colombian Institution Has 4,800 Books and 10 Legs by Simon Romero.
What the NYT says is , "a whimsical riff on the bookmobile" the "Biblioburro" is consists of one man and two donkeys.
This real life story reminded me of Margriet Ruurs' My Librarian is a Camel, a children's book (non-fiction) on the same topic... except with camels, of course. It also reminded me of Marsha Hamilton's novel The Camel Bookmobile(a book I keep meaning to read), which is fiction but based on true events.
