The Power of Bookmobile

This is the great great grandfather of bookmobiles which served in 1930s, going to their traditional rural audiences and areas which were experiencing library cutbacks and restorations such as Queens and Brooklyn. It served as the alternative go-to place of readers during those years.

It’s a powerful sight to see an old bookmobile serving communities and schools, contributing to the history of literacy, filling gaps, and reminding how crucial reading is towards the blooming of people’s minds.

“And always, there was the magic of learning things.” ― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
