Bookmobile Description: The Columbia County Traveling Library bookmobile was purchased in 1996 with funds from Columbia County, an LSCA grant from the Office of Commonwealth Libraries, and private contributions.
Thirty-three feet in length, it has a capacity for approximately 3,000 books, has a wheelchair lift, and is air conditioned. It carries a full selection of current children’s and adult books, best sellers, audio books, large print, and videos / dvds.
Visits are made to over 40 locations in Columbia County, including communities, daycares & preschools, senior citizens’ facilities, and schools. Most communities and preschools / daycares receive biweekly visits; others are monthly.
Bookmobile schedules are issued three times a year, in May, August, and December.
