Columbia Public Library, Friends Room
Biblioburro (56 min.) is the story of a librarian and a library like no other. A decade ago, Colombian grade-school teacher Luis Soriano was inspired to spend his weekends bringing a modest collection of precious books, via two hard-working donkeys, to children living in the poor, violence-ridden interior of Magdalena Province. This documentary by Carlos Rendón Zipagauta is shown in collaboration with POV, PBS’ award-winning nonfiction film series. The DVD for this film is not out yet, so we do not have a library copy. You can watch the trailer to the film below.
