The Westchester Library System’s bookmobile will visit Eastchester from 10 a.m. to noon TODAY, as reported this morning in LoHud.com’s Web updates.
It will be parked at the Garth Road-Buckingham Place intersection. The bookmobile will also visit this intersection on Aug. 21.
Last week, it made stops in Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow which will be repeated Aug. 12. The schedule is: Stop & Shop on Route 119, 9:30-11 a.m.; Walgreens on 134 Wildey, 11:30-12:30 p.m.; parking lot across from Sleepy Hollow Village Hall; and on Beekman Ave., 1:30-2:30 p.m.
“You can get a library card, use the computer, get free paperbacks, and have fun on-board,” says Jenifer Ross, director of development at Warner Library in Tarrytown, who is anxiously awaiting the second visit.
Earlier in the month the specially-equipped bus was in Mount Vernon, which was the focus of July 9th entry in this blog so scroll down and check it out.
Other stops for the book mobile during the summer will be in New Rochelle, Peekskill, Tuckahoe, Mount Kisco, and Shrub Oak. The book mobile is supported by an $85,000 grant from the Westchester County Board of Legislators.

Just like R.I.F.
I think that this would be great for areas without a library! or the library is too far.
wondering about gas prices nixing this effort.
