This four-legged library is changing lives of little kids in Uttarakhand 

It was just good old-fashioned horse sense to trot up ponies laden with books for children in the remote hills of Uttarakhand with little access to either roads or libraries. And the kids seem to be loving both the reading materials that come right up to their villages and their four-legged 'librarians'.
In parts of Kumaon, for instance, it is a common sight these days to see ponies with a placard around their neck that says ‘Ghoda Library’ surrounded by excited children who pick books of their choice from the horse's back, sit around in a circle on the green grass and read loudly together.
The initiative, begun by Nainital resident Shubham Badhani, 29, himself a librarian by training, is slowly picking up. A few others have evinced interest in the project that aims to instill reading as a habit among impressionable children, many of them poor and deprived.
