This summer, the Rapid City Public Library launched a thrilling new adventure with the debut of the Bookmobile, a fantastic initiative set to bring the magic of reading to every corner of the community for years to come. Imagine a library on wheels—this mobile library truck is brimming with exciting features designed to captivate and serve visitors of all ages.
Bookmobile is not just a pretty face wrapped in vibrant colors; it’s a hub of literary delight and convenience. Inside, you'll find an impressive selection of items available for checkout, including books, videos, board games, and puzzles. Plus, it offers the chance to sign up for a library card or access notary services, making it a one-stop shop for all your reading and administrative needs.
Beneath its eye-catching exterior, Bookmobile boasts some serious technological chops. Equipped with a hybrid electric/diesel drive system and built on a Freightliner M2 chassis, this mobile library combines eco-friendly innovation with robust performance. Floyd’s played a key role in outfitting Bookmobile during its construction, ensuring it’s as efficient and functional as it is charming.
Since rolling out onto the streets, Bookmobile has made a splash at various beloved locations around Rapid City. It’s become a favorite at Family Food Truck Night at Canyon Lake Park, enchanted visitors at Storybook Island, and delighted locals at the Black Hills Farmers Market. Whether you’re browsing for your next great read or joining a community event, Bookmobile is ready to bring the joy of reading
right to your doorstep.
