National Bookmobile Day celebrates America’s bookmobiles and the dedicated staff that provide vital library services in their communities.

For more than 100 years, bookmobiles have delivered information, technology and resources for life-long learning to Americans of all walks of life.

National Bookmobile Day, begun in 2010, is celebrated in conjunction with National Library Week (April 8-14) and honors mobile delivery outreach as an integral and vital part of library service in the United States. National Bookmobile Day is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA), the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS) and the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL).
