One doesn’t expect much good news from Africa, and Kenya may be notorious as among the most corruptly governed countries in the world, but this is what I call a public service.
A strange note in the commentary which I take to be a sign of a global, not just an African, problem:
People are so into their daily lives, running here and there, they don’t have time to read. In fact they only read when they need to sit for an examination. We hardly have anyone reading for pastime or for knowledge.
I have heard similar things in Britain, from both the non-readers and academic acquaintances responsible for teaching non-readers. In a world dominated by bureaucracy, qualifications no longer have any necessary relationship to knowledge, and reading is an act of compliance.
But being an outdoor librarian seems like a good job to me.
