Bookmobile is a vehicle that brings library materials and services to people. Bookmobiles, sometimes called mobile libraries, are often used in rural or isolated areas and are usually operated by public libraries. A bookmobile may stop at shopping centers, schools, and factories and other workplaces. People can then board the bookmobile to borrow library materials.
Bookmobiles have existed for many years. However, they have become less important because library services have spread to more isolated areas and other book services have developed. Today, bookmobiles also serve hospitals, housing developments, and other places where library services are limited.
