Bookmobile Mission Statement

The Bookmobile is a unique branch of the library in that it brings library materials to people. It serves as an alternative to stationary branches, and can go places where library use may otherwise be minimal or nonexistent, breaking down barriers of unfamiliarity and reaching people who cannot get to a library building due to physical, economic, social geographic, or other barriers. In fulfilling this mission, the primary functions of the bookmobile are to:

  • Schedule bookmobile stops in areas of high concentrations of people, according to criteria outlined in the policy statement


  • Offer current popular materials and reference information for people

    of all ages


  • Promote basic literacy and a lifelong desire to read


  • Present programs to encourage continued use of the bookmobile, particularly for children


  • Introduce readers to library services

  • Provide personalized library service in a cozy, friendly environment


  • Generate a positive image of the library as a whole by being highly visible throughout the entire community







    • This Bookmobile is not a replacement to traditional library services, however functions as an alternative outreach service.
