Bookmobile: Traveling Libraries in the City and the Country
This website looks at the general history of bookmobiles
through the lens of two case studies: the Geauga County
Public Library Bookmobile and the Cleveland Public
Library Bookmobile.
How to bookmobiles serve patrons in rural and urban
areas? Is there much difference between those
bookmobiles that travel country roads and those that
drive the city streets? Explore this website and find out!
