PPLD is sending us a bookmobile! February 21st will be their first day!
It will be parked at the Wilson Ranch Park, 2335 Allegheny Drive every Friday, 10:00 to 4:00 PM.
Rockrimmon Interim Library will be closed on Fridays so EVERYONE can enjoy the bookmobile experience.
Please, let’s welcome them in a BIG WAY on Feb.21!
Email bookmobile@ppld.org and change your pickup location to Wilson Ranch Park.
You can now put books and other things on hold! Give it a try! If you choose something that is presently available at another location, it will be ready for pickup at the bookmobile!
If you have been checking things out at 21C, you can now return them at the Bookmobile! I expect that many of us have been waiting for this day.
A PPLD librarian will be there to answer your questions, allow you to pay fines, register a new library card, replace a lost one, etc.
Seniors and all, it should be ADA accessible, so please come!
While their collection will be smaller than a regular library, it will be curated carefully and I’m sure that all of us can find a few books to check out.
PLEASE bring your children after school gets out, as you used to do at Rockrimmon Library. They will want to pick up books, too. I know that the schedule is tight (Foothills Elementary gets out at 3:50), but let’s try to get there, showing that our children also miss their library.
Feel free to come more than once. For instance, I plan to take my preschoolers first thing, then my older grandchild once school gets out.
There might be a line, as it is hard to think of a location which used to have approx. 300 patrons/day being accommodated by a bookmobile. The line will only show that, while we are THRILLED to have this bookmobile, it will most likely not be the final solution for our area. I can imagine that this might end up looking like a peaceful protest to some, but let’s simply state our need, and be super kind to the librarians on the bookmobile.
