From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5–Ruurs visits 13 countries and explores the manner in which librarians provide services to patrons using everything from boats and wheelbarrows to elephants. Many of the full-color photographs were actually taken by the librarians themselves. A boxed section also provides a map and basic facts about the featured country. While this is an attractive browsing item, the amount of text on each page and the textbook style of writing may discourage students from reading it cover to cover. However, with little information available about libraries of the world, this title offers a glimpse into the world of books, which several countries consider as important as air or water. This might be an interesting revelation to many students who consider reading a laborious task and to those who take an abundance of books very much for granted.–Anne L.

From Booklist

Gr. 3-5. Bookmobiles are only the beginning. For less-accessible locales think donkey cart, bicycle, camel back, elephant, even wheelbarrow. In a series of compelling case studies, Ruurs presents examples from 13 countries--Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe--of children and books being brought together thanks to dedication, hard work, and ingenuity. Specific details are sometimes scant, and readers eager to know more about or wanting to support these grassroots efforts will be disappointed by the incomplete contact information. Still, this inspirational survey, with lots of color photographs of children with books in their hands, adds a worldwide perspective to Kathi Appelt's Down Cut Shin Creek: The Pack Horse Librarians of Kentucky (2001). For readers a little hazy on the location of the 13 countries, a tiny map and a capsule description are included on each spread. John PetersCopyright © American Library Association.

I'd read glowing reviews of this book in a read around the world summer book club, and was excited to read it to my children. Unfortunately although the book has nice illustrations and great information that's all there is to it, information. I am well aware information can be given in story form, so I was disappointed that it didn't tell the stories of people visiting or running libraries around the world with a more literary tone. While I was willing to go with it and keep reading my children (8 and 4) have yet to give it a second chance. It's still sitting on our shelves, waiting for the day when someone becomes interested in it.

Excellent book. Teaches children about the value of books to children around the world. I used it in my classroom to expose children to different cultures and the value of books.

"Neither rain nor snow, nor sleet nor dark of night shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." The postman's creed, you say? Yes, but now it applies to a new group of people: mobile librarians.Margriet Ruurs, writer and educator, read a newspaper article describing the mobile library in the desert areas of Kenya. She began to wonder if children in other remote areas receive books. Thus began the scrapbook of mobile libraries from all over the world. After Ruur made the contact, librarians shared stories and photographs of their unique mode of book delivery. Ruur includes a total of thirteen mobile libraries. Each shows a two-page spread containing a map insert of the country's location, a box about the area, and the story and photographs of each mobile library in action.Because there are thousands of islands in Finland's geography, the library goes to the children by boat. In the northern Lapland region of the Artic, a book bus serves Lapp children in Finland, Sweden, and Norway.In Mongolia a book minivan and a horse-drawn wagon take books to the herders' children in the Gobi desert. In Azerbaijan a blue truck serves refugee settlements. The children love their "library-in-a-truck." In fact, the librarian wrote: Because these children have nothing, not even school, "the mobile library is as important as air or water."Loaded with crates of books, elephants are library assistants in taking books to children in northern Thailand. Homeless children in Bangkok have access to a classroom and library in old, transformed train carriages in stations around the city.The most dedicated delivery of books occurs in Papua New Guinea, where trucks with four-wheel-drives go as far as they can. Then the librarians tote boxes of books on their shoulders for four hours. As they come to each village, they drop off books and medical supplies. In a few weeks they will repeat the process.Ruur leaves a few questions unanswered. Who funds these libraries? Who funds these books, as surely all are not returned. She mentions one foundation in Mongolia, where there is almost no illiteracy! Other readers may be curious and want to participate.Ruur makes clear the importance of the mobile library. What matters is that children are being served where they are. This is a very fine book about dedication at its best and and a promotion of the love of reading in the most unlikely places. Every school library in the United States should buy this book and every librarian should share it with her students, if only to show that children everywhere love books!

Each country that is discussed in this book is filled with children who love to read. It was most interesting to see the various methods of delivery of books throughout many countries in the world. This is also a great introduction to world geography.

Cleverly covers how books are brought to children in different countries.

As a preschool teacher, I'm required to expose my children to multi-ethnic and multi-cultural components. At the end of the school year, before they go to Kindergarten in the fall, we talk about the things that they will do at school and the people they will see. One of those things is going to the library to pick out a book to take home and the librarian. This book illustrates to American children children in other parts of the world "go to the library". The photos are fun and colorful and it amazes my 4s & 5s to see that children get to the library in different ways. Adults like this book too. Our parents and staff are always wanting to borrow it. Very informative and educational for children and adults, especially those who are librarians.

Very happy with book

I purchased this as a gift for our elementary school librarian. She was thrilled !! Lovely book !
