Westchester County residents can now look forward even greater reading enjoyment when the Westchester Library System (WLS) bookmobile comes to town. The bookmobile, made possible by an $85,000 grant from the Westchester County Board of Legislators, was officially unveiled in Summer 2008 and continues its tour around the county.
"This is an exciting new way in which we are partnering with the Westchester Library System to bring library services into every neighborhood of the County," stated William J. Ryan, Chairman of the County Board of Legislators.
The bookmobile offers Westchester residents the convenience of library services at community programs and facilities throughout the county. Visitors can browse through a select collection of books and other materials, borrow items and return them to the bookmobile or any of the countys libraries, sign up for library cards, gather pamphlets on county and area services, and search WLS cyber databases, and resources.
We look forward to showing residents how the bookmobile makes getting books and information from the libraries even easier, says John Smith, Interim Director of the Westchester Library System. Libraries are an indispensable resource within our communities and we are excited to be adding a library-on-wheels to our family of 38 libraries throughout the county.
The bookmobile makes regular stops in New Rochelle, Tarrytown, Peekskill, Eastchester, Tuckahoe, Mount Kisco, and Yorktown. The bookmobile is also scheduled to appear at a variety of community events. For additional information on the bookmobiles schedule of stops, please contact your local library or Westchester Library System at (914) 231-3226 or www.westchesterlibraries.org.
