| LIBRARY ON THE GO BOOKMOBILE |
|
|
|
Our new Library on the Go bookmobile service launched last Friday with an appearance at the Cold Springs Family Center's weekly Katie Grace Foundation senior goods distribution event.
Library Director Jeff Scott presented an overview of the bookmobile and the Expansion Fund renewal to more than 100 seniors. Staff from the North Valleys Branch were on hand to issue library cards, give tours of the van, and check out books.
In summer 2024, the bookmobile will be serving the county with an established route and a regular schedule. Until then, you can check our website to find out where the bookmobile will be visiting.
If you would like your school, community center, or other location to be considered for a visit from the bookmobile, place a request though our outreach form.
