The Lafayette Public Library will officially unveil its new Bookmobile
on Wednesday, April 10, 2019 (National Bookmobile Day) at 1:00 p.m. at
the Main Library, 301 W. Congress Street, downtown Lafayette.
Media tours will begin at 12:00 p.m., followed by a ribbon-cutting
ceremony at 1:00 p.m. The public will be invited to step aboard the
mobile library and experience the new mobile branch until 4:00 p.m.
The Bookmobile is 32 feet long, ADA-compliant, and outfitted with a
mobile hotspot. The vehicle will be stocked with a diverse collection
of books, DVDs and audiobooks available to check out as part of its
outreach services. It allows the Library to step up service to all
Lafayette Parish residents outside of its nine bricks-and-mortar
locations. The Bookmobile, along with Outreach Services, will provide
the library services that patrons look for, such as computer classes,
crafts, STEM activities and early literacy programming.
