問題詳情:
Sixty-year-old Hernando Guanlao has set up an informal library to encourage local people to share his joy of reading. To operate the library, he gave up his job, living entirely on his savings.
Readers can take as many books as they want, for as long as they want. It's a policy you might assume would end very quickly—with Guanlao having no books at all.
But in fact, in the 12 years he's been running his library - he's found that his collection has grown rather than reduced.
Guanlao started his library shortly after the death of his parents. He kept thinking back to the happy days when his parents still lived him. The memories drove him to do something. Then he hit upon the idea of promoting the reading habit he picked up from his parents. He put the books - a collection of fewer than 100 - outside the door of his house to see if anyone wanted to borrow them. They did, and they brought the books back with others to add to the collection - and the library was born. Now there are 2,000 or 3,000 on the shelves and in the boxes outside his front door.
The library is not advertised, but every day, a steady stream of people find their way there. There are history books, textbooks for children, as well as some fashion magazines available.
Guanlao does not wait for people faraway to find him - he goes to them, on his "book bike", which has a large basket piled high with books.
He's also started to set his sights outside Manila. His latest plan is to help a friend who wants to start up a library in the far south of the country.
"A book should be used and reused. It has life, it has a message." Guanlao said. "As a book caretaker, you become a full man."
