KAMLOOPS LIBRARY
Bookmobile schedule revamped
In preparation for the replacement of the existing Bookmobile and the launch of the new “Mobile Library” service, the Library has developed an improved schedule to better serve TNRD residents, expand stop locations, and create efficiencies. Maximizing routes, staff time, and use by the public were guiding principles, and an assessment of areas that were underserved was undertaken.
No existing stops were eliminated, so the Bookmobile will continue to serve Walhachin, Spences Bridge, 20 Mile House, and Loon Lake. Among the new stops added is one at Thompson River Estates.
As the old Bookmobile is off the road, a van is being used until the new Bookmobile is up and running. Since the van has a very limited selection, patrons are encouraged to put a hold on materials by visiting www.tnrl.ca. Call the Bookmobile at 1-855-552-2665 or email bookmobile@tnrdlib.ca if you need help logging into your account. The April Bookmobile schedule has also changed: visit http://bit.ly/2J9ELrt for details.
And if you have ever wanted to own a Bookmobile, the old one is currently for sale: bids start at $7,500, and bidding is open until April 17. The 35-foot front-engine diesel Blue Bird bus has served the region well for 17 years, and is in running condition with a recently rebuilt transmission and generator, but engine repairs are required. Visit www.tnrl.ca for more information.
