In case you're thinking, "I've never heard of 'National Bookmobile Day' before," don't worry, your memory isn't going. 2010 marks the first-ever National Bookmobile Day, created by the American Library Association "to raise awareness about bookmobiles and the vital services they provide."In all kinds of communities - urban, suburban and rural - mobile libraries provide valuable outreach. They bring books, magazines, music, movies, even Internet access, to people who may have no other connection to those resources. Learn more about National Bookmobile Day and bookmobiles on the American Library Association Web site.

That's a photo of Phyllis Johnson, from our Mobile Library staff, giving the bookmobile a big ol' hug!
I love to see the Mobile Library on the streets of Des Plaines. If I didn't work here I would use it more often because it makes several convenient stops in my neighborhood. What a great resource staffed by terrific people!
ReplyDeleteMy family and I love the bookmobile! Even though we visit the library often--at least once a week--we still like the atmosphere and novelty that the bookmobile offers.
ReplyDeleteKeep it coming, DPPL!
