Garbage Collector (垃圾收集工) Jose Gutierrez is 53 years old. When he was young, his family was too poor to keep him in school. Jose left school when he was in Grade two. But that did not stop him having love for reading.
Jose said he got the love for reading from his mother. She always read to him. “She read me stories every night when I was young,” said Jose. He hopes that every poor child in his city can have books to read.
Jose started saving books from garbage 20 years ago. Every day he drove the garbage truck through the city’s rich neighbourhoods to get old books. Now there are about 20,000 books in Jose’s small house. It is already a famous library in his neighbourhood.
Books are rare (稀有的) things for boys and girls in poor neighbourhoods. New books are too expensive. There are 19 libraries in Bogota, the city where Jose lives, but they are all far from poor neighbourhoods.
Now Jose is famous in Bogota. Many people give gold books to him. Jose plans to make more libraries to help more children.
