Bookmobiles

Bookmobiles often make special appearances in addition to regular stops. The Klickitat Bookmobile, for example, often sets up for business at the fair.

Bookmobiles go out in all kinds of weather--as long as the roads are safe. They're prepared for winter, so visitors can rely upon them for content.

Bookmobile Service

The bookmobile is for all ages and interests. It holds a collection of approximately 2,000 items. If the book you want or the information you need is not on the bookmobile on the day of your visit, we can help you! You can also place your own holds on materials in the catalog just like at any library location and select your bookmobile as the pickup location. The bookmobile is a public library and contains a wide variety of materials for both children and adults. Parents and guardians are responsible for the selection choices of their own minor children. Please ask library staff if you need assistance in locating materials to meet your individual or family needs.
