If you were a librarian and wanted to get books to children located in remote, mountainous areas what would you do?  Well, if you’re working at the University of Momboy in Venezuela you’ve already figured it out; you simply get yourself a couple of bibliomulas. From the BBC article:

Hot and slightly bothered after two hours, we reached Calembe, the first village on this path.

Anyone who was not out working the fields – tending the
celery that is the main crop here – was waiting for our arrival. The 23
children at the little school were very excited.

"Bibilomu-u-u-u-las," they shouted as the bags of books
were unstrapped. They dived in eagerly, keen to grab the best titles
and within minutes were being read to by Christina and Juana, two of
the project leaders.

"Spreading the joy of reading is our main aim," Christina Vieras told me.

And these folks aren’t resting on their laurels.  They’re already looking to go Internet age with their equine asses:

Somehow there is already a limited mobile phone signal
here, so the organisers are taking advantage of that and equipping the
mules with laptops and projectors.

The book mules are becoming cyber mules and cine mules.

"We want to install wireless modems under the banana
plants so the villagers can use the internet," says Robert Ramirez, the
co-ordinator of the university’s Network of Enterprising Rural Schools.

"Imagine if people in the poor towns in the valley can
e-mail saying how many tomatoes they’ll need next week, or how much
celery.

"The farmers can reply telling them how much they can produce. It’s blending localisation and globalisation."

And here I thought the BookMobiles were cool.
