Bookmobiles are currently one of the most expensive services of many public libraries so inevitably the first to be chopped when budgets are cut. Just a plain old fact there... and a mobile library may be slightly anachronistic for some, i.e. those communities that have the internets. My 2cents; bookmobiles fulfill several needs and beyond that are a fantastic visual reminder of the mission of a library -to connect people to information. 10e will be going bookmobile-centric until Wednesday...
