何塞·阿尔贝托·古铁雷斯被哥伦比亚波哥大成千上万热爱读书的孩子们尊称为“书籍之王”，因为他曾帮助他们。
周一，AJ+发布了一段视频，视频中一位垃圾收集员从富裕社区收集废弃书籍，并将它们添加到自己家中的临时图书馆里。这个拥有超过2万册藏书的图书馆周末向他居住的低收入社区的孩子们开放。
“这应该遍布所有社区，每个社区的每个角落，所有城镇，所有省份，以及所有农村地区，”古铁雷斯在2015年接受美联社采访时表示。“书籍是我们的救赎，而这正是哥伦比亚所需要的。”
据美联社报道，古铁雷斯20年前就开始回收废弃书籍。他将自己的工作归功于他的母亲，尽管无力供他上学，母亲仍然每天晚上给他读书。
“我找到的第一本书是列夫·托尔斯泰的《安娜·卡列尼娜》 ，这本小书点燃了我的热情，并开启了这个从未停止滚动的进程，”古铁雷斯在 AJ+ 视频中说道，该视频的观看次数已超过 400 万次。
现在，他家里的每个房间都堆满了书，他家的一楼现在是一个名为“文字的力量”的社区图书馆。
