Africa’s Next-Generation Bookmobile

A digitally outfitted bookmobile funded by a grant from the World Bank has spent the last year traversing some of Africa’s poorest rural areas, and providing the youth of the continent with print-to-order copies of great children’s books. The project has proved wildly popular with the kids, and now that the initial grant has run out, the bookmobile is working with librarians and various foundations to keep the presses rolling.
