Bookmobile is Coming to Town

It’s finally here, and just in time for Christmas! Last year, a green bookworm slithered into the elementary schools, walked in the parade, and performed a rap song asking all the community members to give a nickel for every year of their age so the Library could buy a bookmobile for the city. People gave very generously, and the result is that we had just enough to purchase a vehicle that will soon be a familiar sight in Pocatello, taking books to people all over town.
So now it’s time to celebrate! Come to the library on Saturday, December 19, 2009, from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m. to welcome the arrival of Pocatello’s new Bookmobile! Everyone who gave a nickel (or any other amount)---or even anyone who will use this exciting service is invited to come to Bookmobile Party! We will have punch and cookies, music, smiling faces, and even a treat for the children! Most of all, you can see our beautiful new vehicle, the Library’s gift to the community.
