The bookmobile carries books, audiobooks, speed reads (best sellers) and DVDs for patrons of all ages. The bookmobile is accessible to all. Bring your library card to check out materials.

Natick's Bookmobile visits neighborhoods, home daycare/preschools and seniors and older adults during the year on a rotating schedule.

The bookmobile also participates in community events such as Family Night on the Common, July 4th Parade, Natick Days, and Spooktacular.

Bookmobile services are supported in part by the Town of Natick and the Friends of the Morse Institute Library.

Bookmobile visits may be cancelled due to bad weather, mechanical problems or general safety concerns.

 

 

 

For Senior and Older Adult visits, we will notify staff at each facility.

For neighborhood visits, we will send out an email message to those who have signed up for the email notification list.

For preschool and home daycare stops, we will notify staff at each location.

 

Held on the Wednesday of National Library Week, National Bookmobile Day (NBD) recognizes and celebrates the role of bookmobiles and direct‐delivery outreach services in fulfilling the mission of libraries.

 

An integral and vital part of library service in the United States for over 100 years, bookmobiles provide access to information and technology and supply resources for life‐long learning to Americans of all walks of life, no matter where they are – rural areas, cities, or suburbs.

 

National Bookmobile Day is sponsored by the American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS), the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS), and the Association of Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL).

The first‐ever National Bookmobile Day was celebrated on Wednesday, April 14, 2010.
