Novels, magazines, and newspapers—many people read these in their spare time. These days it is easy for most of us to get 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 2006, 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 attract people into the library. After a lot 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 invented the Mobile Camel Library.
Starting with three camels in 2006, 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 altogether carry up to 1, 200 kilograms 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 efforts. 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 someone in a village loses a book, the camel library stops visiting the village. [br] Why didn’t people visit the library in Garissa?

It is difficult for people to walk through the desert.
解析
(由第一段最后两句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.可知,加里萨地区的人们想要借书必须要经过一片干燥的沙漠地带,因此很少人去图书馆借书。)
