Biblioburro: A True Story From Columbia
by Jeanette Winter
Luis Soriano had too many books! An avid reader, when he finished one book he would soon get another. When his wife insisted he find a place for all of his books, he decided to share them with those who did not have books by creating the Biblioburro, a traveling library. Using two burros, Luis now travels to remote villages in Columbia to share his books with others.
This is a great story that I recently used to discuss with my classes about how others don't have access to books the ways that we do! This short biography about Luis Soriano pairs well with the picture book "Waiting for the Biblioburro" by Monica Brown.
