In this episode of Library-ish, Traci and January explore the fascinating world of mobile libraries. From their historical roots in horse-drawn wagons to the state-of-the-art bookmobiles of today, mobile libraries have been essential in bringing books, technology, and resources to underserved communities. 

We’ll dive into the history of these traveling libraries, take a closer look at Butte County Library’s very own mobile library, and share how it’s making a difference in our community. This modern marvel is more than a library on wheels—it’s a lifeline for literacy and connection. 

Whether you’re a library enthusiast or just curious about the impact of these rolling wonders, this episode has something for everyone!
