2026 Spring Fundraiser: Bookmobiles
For many Boone and Callaway county communities and children, the bookmobile is their library. Our bookmobiles travel to rural communities, child care centers and events, serving over 1,500 adults and children each month. Unfortunately, our two bookmobiles are aging and increasingly in need of repairs, forcing us to cancel some of our bookmobile stops. To continue this critical service, we need to replace 16-year-old Bookmobile, Jr. and its bigger companion bookmobile which is 25 years old.
With your support, we can replace these aging mobile libraries with more fuel efficient, safer and more accessible models equipped with features that enable us to offer additional library services to our communities. We estimate the total cost to replace both bookmobiles at $1 million, and we are actively fundraising to cover a portion of that cost. The Daniel Boone Regional Library has been providing bookmobile services for nearly 70 years, and we want to keep them rolling. Help us by making a donation and join us on the road to reading!
