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. |
