A barber in the Afghan capital, Kabul, has installed a small library in a corner of his shop. Assadullah says he dropped out of school early, but is encouraging other people to read as much as possible in a country where literacy levels remain low. The library has over 300 books and he's offering a discount to customers who read while waiting for their turn in the barber's chair.
