Authors Reach Out to Kenyan Readers

Masha Hamilton‘s forthcoming novel, The Camel Bookmobile, has its origins in a real book distribution network the author encountered in northeast Kenya, which delivers books in Swahili and English to villagers. The Garissa Provincial Library is always glad for new inventory, especially considering the beating their books take in transit, so Hamilton has helped set up a book donation drive with several dozen authors already contributing five books apiece to the program. You don’t have to be an author to donate books—and a five-pound box of books to Kenya costs just $23.
