Greensboro, NC --Some say to be a good leader you have to be  good reader to spark an  intellectual curiosity.

Georgette Koty  has lived that personally.

The thirst for reading  was given to her when she was young,  she now wants to return that love to the young people in her home country of Benin.

She has been collecting English language  books since 2007 and now has  over 5,000. So many, that  they have completely filled this  storage locker.

Now she want to send them to Africa and start small community libraries so the young people in her country can expand their English reading beyond what they would learn in Middle School.
