ALT2 ... that the Indonesian author Asma Nadia has established over a hundred libraries, including a mobile lending library in Hong Kong?

mobile lending library in Hong Kong:

Moreover, they enable women to become productive writers by conducting writing workshops and, as in Asma Nadia's case, opening a mobile community library. Every week, FLP authors in Hong Kong bring their collections to Victoria Park in two big suitcases in order to let others borrow and read their books. Besides running this mobile library, they also hold a small book bazaar most weekends, where they sell their own and other FLP members' publications.
