How does the pandemic affect the operation of the Bookmobile?
The Bookmobile is off the road for the foreseeable future, since there is no way to observe safe social distancing, to wash hands, or maintain effective cleaning and sanitizing of its interior.
Bookmobile patrons are asked to return any library materials borrowed to the nearest, convenient Wood County library.
If you are unable to return your items to a library book drop, call the Bookmobile Office at 419-352-5104, ext. 221; or email: Bookmobile@wcdpl.org.
Homebound and home delivery services are possible on a case by case basis at this time. Call the bookmobile office for more information.
WCDPL has provided Bookmobile service to Wood County since 1951. The current Bookmobile was purchased through funds provided by a State Library of Ohio grant and privately raised funds. This vehicle runs on compressed natural gas (CNG) an abundant, low-cost, green alternative to gasoline or diesel.
The Bookmobile is a full-service mobile library, providing a wide range of materials and services to local communities, including outreach services to area agencies, organizations, and institutions and homebound individuals.
The Bookmobile offers:
- library card sign-up
- books, for children and adults, including Spanish language materials
- Large Print materials
- popular magazines
- popular DVDs
- audio books
- eBooks
- Storytimes
- and more!
