On a sunny afternoon in June, Maya did something she’s been doing since she was younger: she visited her local Bookmobile stop.
"I’ve lived in this community for a while, and with my parents, every week, we’d just come here and look at the books. I guess it’s like a little tradition. It’s fun coming on a little bus, checking out a bunch of stuff. Sometimes, they have stock that’s not available at other libraries, so that’s pretty cool."
With more than 20 stops across the city on its schedule, the Bookmobile meets people where they are and helps increase accessibility to library services.
"It’s making the Library more accessible for people in communities outside of the main part of the city", continued Maya, also highlighting that before she could drive, she was able to access the Bookmobile by walking there. [BN2.1]
