After three years of planning and design the new Santa Clara
County Library Bookmobile is on the road to you. Strengthening
our commitment to bring Library services to every community,
the Santa Clara County Library introduces a new colorful, state-of-the-art
bookmobile. The new vehicle is more spacious than the l995 model
with an entrance ramp and a wide center aisle for wheelchair
access. A new awning off the side of the Bookmobile offers shade
for young children and their parents attending storytime programs.
In addition, a satellite hookup allows for real-time computer
access to patron accounts and the Library catalog.
Currently the Bookmobile
visits 45 stops every two-weeks, lending more than 100,000 items
each year. Bookmobile services extend from South of Gilroy to
the Santa Cruz Mountains to the top of Mount Hamilton and serve
a cross-section of the county’s population from preschoolers
to seniors.
In 2003, the Bookmobile
was awarded the Santa Clara County Executive Unity in Diversity
Achievement Award for service to the Ochoa migrant camp in Gilroy.
