Bookmobile: Brief History and Services

WCDPL has provided Bookmobile service to Wood County since 1951. The current Bookmobile was purchased through funds provided by a State Library of Ohio grant and privately raised funds. This vehicle runs on compressed natural gas (CNG) an abundant, low-cost, green alternative to gasoline or diesel.

The Bookmobile is a full-service mobile library, providing a wide range of materials and services to local communities, including outreach services to area agencies, organizations, and institutions and home delivery.

The Bookmobile offers:

  • Library card sign-up
  • Books, for children and adults, including Spanish language materials
  • Large Print materials
  • Popular magazines
  • Popular DVDs
  • Audiobooks
  • eBooks
  • Storytimes

If you have questions, want to request specific materials, or if your organization or community is interested in hosting the Bookmobile, please call us at (419) 352-5104 ext. 221 or send an email to Bookmobile@wcdpl.org.

The Bookmobile visits areas within the library's legal service district, shown in the downloadable "Service District Map" pdf attached at the bottom of the screen.

Summer Reading Program: Adventure Begins at Your Library

This year, your summer reading adventure can begin on our Bookmobile! Youth ages preschool through young adult can visit the Bookmobile beginning May 29 to grab a Bookmobile Passport to track their reading this summer. For each book read, they'll get their Bookmobile Passport stamped and get a ticket that they can submit for a chance to win great prizes. 

Planning on joining us for Summer Reading Program at Bowling Green or Walbridge, too? Not to worry! You can complete our Bookmobile Passport and our Summer Reading Program at your nearest library location at the same time.
