There is a camel bookmobile in northern Kenya. (The link leads to pictures of it: I think this one, of a young girl totally absorbed in a book, is my favorite.)

An author who wrote a novel about this mobile library has organized a book drive for it. She notes that the bush is hard on books (and the books in the pictures are clearly battered), and that children's books are in the highest demand. She also notes that the library patrons particularly like it when a book has been inscribed by the donor. They need books in both Swahili and in English (which is taught in the schools).
