Information and knowledge

There are people who want to learn more about everything but they can't get their hands on books.  There are those who thirst for knowledge but are restricted by their circumstances.  There are the curious thousands who believe in their heart that there is a wide world beyond their valley but are unable to explore to their heart's desire.
