The Columbia County Traveling Library needs your help!

As you know, we had losses over $90,000 from the flood; insurance will only cover a fraction of that -- so we are trying creative ways to raise funds.

We are entered in a contest, Fueling Good, sponsored by Citgo through which we could win $5,000 in fuel. That's about what it takes to keep the bookmobile on the road for one year.

Here's how you can help -- Just click on the "Vote Daily" icon below and a new page will open. (You might have to temporarily disable pop-up control by holding down the Ctrl key.) Then click the same icon on the Fueling Good site.

Enter your email and the distorted code words. Done!

Please go back every day.

Please check out the "What's New" page for a list of the newest books and audiobooks. If you click the link, a PDF will open up. The document will fill your screen, but will print normal size. (You can reduce the zoom level for easier on-screen reading.) Let the bookmobile staff know if you would like to reserve a particular favorite.

New! We will be making bi-weeklystops at Rohrbach's Farm Market and Beaver Township on Mondays.

YES, WE DO! We  take donations of gently-read books. If you have books catching dust at home, we will accept them with thanks. Sometimes we add them to the collection, the rest we use for our Book Sale to make ends meet. Please call the library to arrange a drop-off or bring them to the bookmobile.

Not familiar with the Traveling Library?

The Columbia County Traveling Library is a free public library for all residents of Columbia County -- on wheels. We are the only public library in Pennsylvania with the primary purpose of operating a bookmobile. Our bookmobile carries a wide selection of current bestselling books for adults and children, including large print titles, audiobooks on CDs and popular DVDs.

We invite you to visit the bookmobile at one of our community stops throughout Columbia County: Beaver Township, Benton, Catawissa, Central, Locust Township, Mifflinville, Millertown, Millville, North Centre, Rohrsburg and Stillwater.

The bookmobile regularly visits many daycares and preschools, senior citizens centers, businesses and schools.  Click Bookmobile Schedule (pdf) to download a copy.
