Bringing public libraries to Ecuador

Ecuador has no public lending libraries. So despite a high literacy rate (78%) almost no-one reads. 17% read a newspaper but they're also comparatively expensive. So we had the idea of setting up the first public lending library. We'd need to persuade three groups:

1) the ministry here to manage it and run it

2) publishing houses in Ecuador/ SA to sign discount agreements

3) a spanish or latin american book owner to donate a container load of books

4) a courier company to get them here

5) small logistics funding to smooth the way

If anyone can help with any of these things please get in touch! Thanks..
