Book mobile hits the road

July

If you won’t come to the library, then the library will just have to come to you. A book mobile is heading to Westchester libraries bringing books and services to many communities in a fun, eye-catching way.

The Westchester Library System book mobile is on the road, according to a press release from WLS.

The book mobile, supported by an $85,000 grant from the Westchester County Board of Legislators, will open its doors to welcome residents with library services at community programs and facilities throughout the county. Visitors can browse through a select collection of books and other materials, borrow items and return them to the book mobile or any of the county’s libraries, sign up for library cards, gather pamphlets on county and area services, and search WLS cyber databases and resources.

Following its debut yesterday morning, the book mobile will make regular stops to libraries in New Rochelle, Tarrytown, Peekskill, Eastchester, Tuckahoe, Mount Kisco, Mount Vernon and Shrub Oak.

So do keep an eye out (and your camera phone handy) for the book mobile. It is also scheduled to appear at a variety of upcoming community events.

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
