In Bulla Iftin, Kenya, two dozen Somali children waited under an acacia for Kenya's Mobile Camel Library. Two camels carried 200 books in four wooden boxes to the village as a library tent opened. Librarian Joseph Otieno read in Swahili while children, reading Somali at home and learning Swahili and English in school, chose from novels and educational texts.
