The mission of the Book Mobile program is to put books into the hands of children!  We support this mission with a school year and a summer program. The Book Mobiles are filled with more than 4,200 books, including PreK through grade 12 and bilingual books. 

During the school year, the Book Mobiles visit schools and community events to spread a love of reading.  Children get to board the Book Mobile to select a new book to keep! These events encourage students to build personal libraries in their homes. 

Last school year, we gave away over 30,000 books purchased with donations like yours!

During the summer, the Book Mobiles operate Monday through Saturday. The mobile library is staffed with media specialists who help students find books that best match their age and reading level. With 100 stops per week, students in Gwinnett neighborhoods and communities can checkout books to continue to read in June and July to avoid the summer slide.  This past summer, the Book Mobiles had over 14,000 visitors who checked out 17,060 books. The last week of the summer, children are rewarded for reading by selecting a new book to keep.
