Bookmobile News

We have long been committed to public service in the Larkfield area, roughly half-way between the Northwest (Coddingtown) and Windsor library branches. For years we performed this outreach at Larkfield Center, a popular shopping destination, but were often disappointed with low turnouts. Fortunately we got a nice boost a couple of years ago from the efforts of volunteer Virginia Fifield, who works each month to publicize our local appearances, especially to the nearby schools and low-income housing. Thanks, Ginny!

Now we are in partnership with the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market to appear at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts. This is a friendly, popular market, and still within easy walking distance from residential areas like Lavell Village. We’re also finding that kids can more easily convince their parents to visit the bookmobile when there’s yummy veggies and other delights available in the same spot! We appreciate the warm welcome we have received thus far and look forward to setting up among the other quality vendors one Saturday each month from 10 Am – 1 Pm (check our website schedule page for details). There is no charge to enter the market and, as always, the books are absolutely free.
