An exciting story: Antonio La cava and his "bibliomotocarro".
Antonio La Cava is a retired schoolteacher from Ferrandina, Italy. He has got a vehicle which he created to be a library. The vehicle has got a little chimney on the roof, three wheels and a lot of books. He calls it "bibliomotocarro".
He plays an organ to announce that he has arrived. The children usually run to see his books.
What is his mission? To spread the love of reading. Antonio says that a disinterest in reading often starts in schools because the technique of reading is not accompanied by love.
Look at the picture.
