Access to Information

William Kamkwamba: How I harnessed the wind

William is a boy in Malawi who built a windmill for his family based on plans from a few library books. It highlights the importance of, not just using information when you get it, but access to information in the first place. Also, shows the never-ending importance of libraries. Yay for libraries!
