Library YouTube Break #22
The World’s Largest Floating Library
GBA Ships is an international charity operating out of Germany. The news this week is that the largest GBA ship, Logos Hope, is docked in an Indian port until August 11. Logos Hope carries more than 7000 book titles, travels around the world promoting good literature, raises money for charity, undertakes community projects, and fosters cultural exchange during its global voyage.
Imagine living in an area of the world that has little to no access to books, and this glorious ship docks in your local harbor, opens its doors, and introduces you to a whole new world!
Directly below, see Logos Hope in 60 seconds. A longer YouTube video with much more information about the project follows in this post.

Some news articles on this ship identified GBA as meaning “Google Books for All”. I was contacted by GBA and told there was no connection to Google, and that the press reports were incorrect. GBA actually stands for “Good Books for All.”
