Previously, not a single month would pass
without the Bookmobile breaking down due to age and mechanical problems.
But times have changed for the El Paso Public Library. In 1997 the new
Bookmobile saw the light of day for the first time. It was ready to roll
thanks to the tireless efforts of the community and library employees.
They organized fundraising activities to see this dream come true. |
|
 |
Of course a big celebration followed,
where mariachis played traditional
music…and patrons and staff savored
fresh hors d'oeuvres and ice-cold
refreshments. This mobile one-stop shop
for popular library materials has been
serving patrons in more than 25
locations throughout El Paso for some
time. |

The Bookmobile also attends dozens of
functions each year by special request.
Sal Gutierrez and Tony Arias are the
proud drivers of this newly painted set
of wheels. They say the new design is
eye-catching and responsible for many
second looks. "It sure is a head
turner!", say Sal and Tony. Sal
also added that he has seen an increase
in patron attendance. The times don’t
stop rolling for them. Sal and Tony are
proud to have seen the Bookmobile evolve
into a fully equipped library on wheels
that provides full access to the
Internet, and offers storytelling and
other services already available at all
of the other libraries. |
