The Bookmobile

The Bookmobile The mission of the Bookmobile is to increase literacy by increasing access to books and information. The Bookmobile began as an idea in September of 2016.

The South Bartow Community Needs Assessment, conducted by the Northwest Georgia Regional Public Health Office of Chronic Disease Prevention, had revealed numerous gaps in services and opportunities in the South Bartow area. These included library services, youth programs, family programs, and educational supports. The Bartow Bookmobile was conceived as a way to begin addressing some of these needs

. Almost immediately after conception, a private citizen expressed a desire to donate a large quantity of books to serve as a library for the South Bartow area. We accepted that donation and the challenge that it entailed, and the Bartow Bookmobile began its journey from dream to reality.
