Waiting for the BiblioBurro 

by Monica Brown

Summary: When a man brings to a remote village two burros, Alfa and Beto, loaded with books the children can borrow, Ana's excitement leads her to write a book of her own as she waits for the BibliBurro to return.

This is an amazing fictionalized tale of a real library that travels on a donkey. This book is a great read aloud for National Library week. This story allows for a discussion on how a library is not necessarily a place and the power of reading. Additionally, it is motivating to begin a service project for those who live in poverty.
