There’s a breath of fresh air breezing through the hills and rocky escarpments of Basilicata, in the far south of Italy. It’s a pale blue miniature bus, a tiny, tiny vehicle loaded with books. It’s probably the smallest mobile library in the world.
The driver is Antonio La Cava, a retired teacher, who decided to convert his Ape 3-wheeler van (Ape is Italian for bee) into a book repository that he could drive around his region calling at isolated and out-of-the-way villages and inviting the local children to borrow or even be given the book of their choice.
Having retired from teaching after 42 years he felt there was still more that he could do when helping children to discover the joy of books and the written word.
