Hitting the Streets

The Branch Bookmobiles have been in action all this time, but the BookmoBLOG has been in in the shop for a tune-up. Now it's time to open the garage door and get back on the information superhighway. We've got lots of fun events down the road and a few in our rear view mirror. The Book Pilot will try to update you now and promises to pull off the road and blog more frequently from now on.

Most recently, the BIG Bookmobile visited Visitacion Valley for the Leland Avenue Street Fair, on Sunday September 9th. We had more than 350 visitors on Sunday. Parked next to the music stage and right in front of the Visitacion Valley Branch Library, the Bookmobile was the center of the action. Check our a few pictures of the vehicle, visitors and staff here. Thanks Keith, Jimmy, Terry, the Staff of the Vis Valley Branch and the Friends of the Library for their help.

Hello from Behind the Wheel of a Bookmobile,

This blog is meant to share interesting facts about the Branch Library Improvement Program Bookmobiles in San Francisco. This is an important group of bookmobiles: they serve the people in communities where their branch library is closed for much-needed renovations. We bring new and exciting books, DVDs, and hold requests from the big library system to the neighborhood that is missing its library.

Find out more about the program here:

In the coming weeks, months and years, this bookmobile web log -- BookMoBlog -- will be your unofficial source of information about these exciting vehicles, the bumps in the road, and the interesting people and sights we will encounter along the way.

So, step aboard. We've been expecting you! Did you bring your library card?
