Garbage collector (垃圾回收员) 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 a love of reading.
Jose said he got the love of reading from his mother. She always read to him, “She read me stories every night.” 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 drives the garbage truck through the city’s rich neighborhoods to get old books. Now there are about 20,000 books in Jose’s small house. It is already a famous library in his neighborhood.

Now Jose is famous in Bogota. Many people give old books to him. Jose plans to make more libraries to help more children.
