Vanessa Martin became the James V. Brown Library Bookmobile driver about three years ago, and she loves her job.
She spends her days driving throughout Lycoming County, providing a library on wheels to many people who are unable to travel the distance to the brick and mortar building. On the PULSE features a Day in the Life of the bookmobile here.
The bookmobile is a staple of Lycoming County’s learning culture. On July 10, 1939, Miss Frances Kilburn began driving the first Bookmobile on rural county roads. Since then, a variety of vehicles have continued to travel throughout the county, bringing books, music, movies and more to the people in rural areas, schools and care facilities.
