Kansas City Public Library is On the Road Again! |
|
It's been more than than half a century, since we've had a bookmobile, but our new Outreach vehicle is more than a bookmobile.
The customized, brightly emblazoned cargo van hit the streets Thursday, September 17, 2020, ferrying bags of books, audiobooks, and DVDs to residents of area senior living centers as part of the Library’s Lobby Stops program. It will be a frequent presence at other outreach events and activities, transporting displays, supplies, and other materials and serving as a pop-up gathering place. Equipped with Wi-Fi, it’ll also eventually provide patrons who need it with essential internet access. The vehicle ultimately will carry a rotating collection of books for on-the-spot browsing and checkout … like, you know, a traditional bookmobile. Learn more: https://bit.ly/2ZWBDco |
