Since 1958, the Holmes County Bookmobile has provided library service to areas in the county where people lack easy access to a fixed library facility. Books, audiobooks, music, DVDs, WiFi and computer access are just some of the resources made available through this mobile service.
The Bookmobile has been operating on proceeds established through The Bookmobile Support Fund since 2009 when library funding was severely cut. Items covered by this fund include material purchases, fuel and maintenance for the two bookmobiles. Monies raised to support this service will soon run out.
This spring we will launch a fund-raising effort to bolster the Bookmobile Support Fund. We are looking to our community to help sustain this valued and unique program. Our goal is to raise $40,000 per year so that we will be able to continue services to Holmes County citizens.
If you would like to make a contribution and help the bookmobiles continue to be a welcome sight on the roads of Holmes County, please consider making a donation. Checks may be sent, payable to the Holmes County Library:
