Frequently Asked Questions About the Bookmobile

May I get a library card on the Bookmobile?
Yes! You can get your first library card free when you provide proof of residence (such as a driver's license). You will need a library card to check out books and other items. You will be responsible for all materials on your card. If you already have a valid library card, that's good on the Boomobile, too.

What if I can't find the book I want?
Simply request it from the librarian, who will then make every effort to reserve it for you and bring it on the next visit.You may also request items owned by any library in our catalog network directly through our online catalog.

How can I get the Bookmobile to stop in my subdivision?
Complete a Bookmobile Stop Application (PDF ; Word) and it will be reviewed for future consideration.

How did you get the Bookmobile?
The Homer Library received a $150,000 bookmobile grant award, and the process of building a new state-of-the-art bus began in 2004. Scheduled to hit the road early in 2006, our bus features a core collection of new materials for children, teens, and adults: including books, magazines, and audio/visual materials. This is a first for our community!
