Sandvoort, Guyana (CNN) -- Nine-year old Kayla Hope loves fairy tales, especially "Cinderella."
"It's got a lot of rats!" she giggles, burying her face in her hands. They're her favorite part.
Until now, she's never read a book.
She would have had to walk two miles to the closest library before. Now she will won't have to make that long trek, because her village in Guyana built a community library.
"It's something that they wanted for so many years, and they just had no idea how to start," said Matt Cusimano, a Peace Corps volunteer and a teacher at the primary school in Sandvoort, a village of nearly 200 people.
Cusimano has taken on the challenge of creating a library with the villagers. Since starting, he's been working with few resources. Many students are roughly three years behind their expected reading level.
