The Paulding County Carnegie Library will celebrate National Bookmobile Day at two locations during National Library Week.
The county Bookmobile will be celebrating mobile library service in Haviland on Tuesday April 14th from 5:30-7:30 p.m. (There will be no other stops on that day). On Thursday April 16th, the Bookmobile will celebrate at the Grover Hill Elementary School from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
If you have never visited the Bookmobile, consider this your special invitation. Be prepared to join the Bookmobile’s superhero team, The Reading Reinforcers and help the Bookmobile “save the words” by protecting books from two dastardly villains. “The Word Stealer” villain has been known to actually remove all the words from books. Villain “Mis Speld” is sneaky and enjoys misspelling all the words. We need your help in thwarting these two villains!
Our “Reading Reinforcement” superhero team, (Kathy Heffley and Tawnya English), will don their super-power capes and get to work. By encouraging reading, they will foil these two reading villains who are on bound and determined to discourage the love of reading. Lots of prizes and goodies will be given away including drawings for six grand prizes at each location. All Bookmobile patrons, friends and fans are invited to join this fun celebration. In case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled.
The Paulding County Carnegie Library Bookmobile was established in 2011 and serves county residents of all backgrounds and ages who may not be able to travel to a brick and mortar branch library. The Bookmobile provides access to almost every service that patrons find in library branches, readers advisory services, help with electronic devices, contests and children’s programs, monthly visits to area pre-schools, weekly visits to nursing homes and campgrounds during the summer season. A notary public is on board as an added service.
National Bookmobile Day is celebrated nationwide on the Wednesday during National Library Week, which runs this year April 12-18. National Bookmobile Day is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA), the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS), and the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL).
