Your
Library on Wheels
by Bob Blanchard, Head of Community Services
The Mobile Library is your "library on
wheels." You can visit us at a variety of locations
throughout the city, such as parks, schools, and neighborhoods. We
have nearly all of the kinds of materials that the library does -
the current bestsellers in fiction and nonfiction, books in
various fiction genres, children's books, large type books,
audiobooks, magazines, CDs, videocassettes and a new collection of
DVDs. We also have friendly and helpful staff who offer one-on-one
service.
Reading will "rock" on the Mobile
Library this summer. "Reading Rocks" is the theme of
this year's summer reading club, and adults and children can
participate on the Mobile Library.
Our summer schedule takes effect June 17. This
schedule includes 36 stops on a biweekly basis. One big change is
the days that we will be in service. This summer, the Mobile
Library will operate from Monday through Friday, instead of
Tuesday through Saturday. All of the Saturday stops are
incorporated into the summer schedule, on different days and at
different times. We will also be stopping at some summer school
locations.
Summer schedules are available on the Mobile
Library, at the main library, on the library
Web site or by phoning 847-376-2793. If you
would like your neighborhood considered for the fall schedule,
please phone 847-376-2793. Come check out the Mobile Library when
it stops near you!
