There are surprisingly few books in Laos...  Many bookstores only rent books rather than sell them, and the public library is no better off.  They do however have a good idea..  They created this traveling library concept, and you can put books in this large expandable sheet-like thing, then they roll it up and take it through the villages... 

If there is a school that would like to adopt this library and help them out, please contact me or the library directly.  The librarian (as seen in the video) is really sweet, and her name is Chantha Souliyasak, and her email is: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

If you'd like to ship books (ANY TYPE OF BOOKS) the address is:

Luang Prabang Library

Saithethathirath Road

Laung Prabang, LAOS
