Everyone's an artist

Every year, the village of Pettineo celebrates its unique arts festival. For a few days each summer, artists from all over Europe gather at this village near the north coast of Sicily to 17.1 the creative atmosphere. During their stay, the artists get together with the local people to paint a one-kilometre long picture that runs the length of the high street. Once the painting is done, each visiting artist joins a local family for a big lunch and, in exchange for the meal, the family receives the 17.2 of the painting that the artist has painted. As a result, 17.3 few villagers are rich, almost every home has at least one painting by a well-known European artist. Visitors to the village are eagerly invited into homes to see these paintings.

The festival was the idea of Antonio Presti, a local businessman who 17.4 it up several years ago. Since then, Pettineo has become a sort of domestic art museum in 17.5 any visitor can ring a doorbell, go into a house and 17.6 a painting. In addition to this exhibition of paintings in people's homes, for those who have time to spare, there is an opportunity to wander through the display of the huge sculptures in the village square.

Desert Delivery

These days it is easy for most of us to get a hold of the latest books or magazines. We can go to bookstores, order them through the Internet, or borrow them from the local library. Now imagine having to walk miles and miles through a hot sandy desert just to borrow a book. This is the reality for people living in the villages of the Garissa region of Kenya in East Africa.

In 1996, librarian Wycliffe Oluoch used to spend each day waiting for people to come to borrow some of the 24,000 books in his library in Garissa. The library had no shortage of books, but people weren’t coming to read them. It was too much effort to walk through the desert just to borrow books. Oluoch racked his brain for ways to entice people into the library. After a lot of thought, he hit upon a great idea. If people wouldn’t come to the library, then he would have to take the library to them. Oluoch strapped boxes of books onto the backs of camels, and created the Mobile Camel Library.

Starting with three camels in 1996, but more recently expanding the service to six camels, the Mobile Camel Library serves over one million people. Twice a month, the camel library can be seen carrying books all around the Garissa region. These hard-working animals need little water and can carry up to 500 pounds of books across the sands. A librarian, a library assistant, a herdsman, and a lookout all travel with the camels. The lookout helps protect the books from thieves.

The children of Garissa love the camel library and appreciate Oluoch’s effort. Eleven-year-old Mohamud Mohamed reads his library books carefully and always returns them on time. He knows the Garissa library punishes people for losing books, just like any other library. However, the punishment is very stiff compared to that of other libraries. If a village loses a book, the camel library stops visiting.

Wycliffe Oluoch and his colleagues came up with the idea of the mobile library.

The Mobile Camel Library was established with six camels in 1996.

There is a herdsman traveling all around the Garissa region with the Mobile Camel Library.

The penalty for losing books of the Mobile Camel Library is similar to others.

Why do you think people did not visit the library in Garissa?

It was too difficult to walk there.
People in Garissa didn’t like reading.
There were too few books.
People didn’t like the camels.

What is the main idea of this reading?

Wycliffe Oluoch is a smart man.
A mobile camel library was invented.
Lookouts are necessary because of thieves.
Camels can carry up to 500 pounds.
