The Bookmobile reaches hundreds of preschool students each month and loans out over 1,000 items a month to patrons of all ages who can not travel, for one reason or another, to a brick and mortar location.
PAULDING COUNTY, OHIO — National Bookmobile Day celebrates our nation’s bookmobiles and the dedicated library professionals who provide this valuable and essential service to their communities every day. This special day provides an opportunity for bookmobiles fans to make their support known—through thanking bookmobile staff, writing a letter or e-mail to their libraries, or voicing their support to community leaders.
This year, the Paulding County Carnegie Library Bookmobile will be celebrating on two days. On Tuesday, April 12th in Haviland at the Community Park and on Wednesday at the Grover Hill Elementary School and the Ball Park. Both celebrations will be held from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. The Grover Hill celebration will be held at the school from 5:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. and then move to the ball parks. These will be the only two service stops on these days.
Join the Bookmobile Team as they celebrate Bookmobiles with a “steam-punk” theme. Patrons of all ages will be inspired by stepping back to an industrial age that was powered by steam, gears and keys. For more information call the main library at 419-399-2032 or the Bookmobile on-board phone at 419-670-3761.
National Bookmobile Day is coordinated by the ALA Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services, the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS), and the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL). Paulding County readers have enjoyed Bookmobiles in the 1960s, 1990s and now, since 2011.
