Bookmobile

The McKenzie County Public Library Bookmobile is an extension of the McKenzie County Public Library, offering similar services to those available at the main library.

Mission

The McKenzie County Public Library Bookmobile aims to serve all McKenzie County residents and patrons who are not served or are under-served by traditional library services due to physical, economic, social, or geographic barriers.

Purpose

The McKenzie County Public Library Bookmobile typically traverses McKenzie County twice monthly, as staffing permits. Service areas include:

• Schools
  • Private, public and rural schools
• Housing Communities
  • Senior housing and affordable housing communities
• Public Areas
  • Public recreational areas and buildings
• Special Facilities
  • Facilities that house or educate individuals with physical or mental challenges

Using the Bookmobile

• Library Card Requirement
  • A valid Library Card is necessary to check out items on the Bookmobile. Library Card Applications are available on the Bookmobile.
• Physical Cards and Receipts
  • Physical Library Cards and printed receipts cannot be issued on the Bookmobile. However, a physical Library Card can be requested and picked up at the McKenzie County Public Library.
• Visiting Without a Card
  • A Library Card is not required to visit, browse or read on the Bookmobile while it is parked.

Requesting a Stop

• How to Request a Stop
  • New stops may be requested at any time by completing a Bookmobile Stop Request Form. Forms are available at the Bookmobile, at the Library or at the bottom of this page.
• Contact Person Responsibilities
  • The individual who fills out the Bookmobile Stop Request Form will be the contact person for that stop and will assume all necessary responsibilities.
• Stop Evaluation Process
  • Requesting a Bookmobile stop does not guarantee approval. The Library considers factors such as staff scheduling, weather patterns, and parking accessibility when evaluating potential stops. Requests are reviewed by Bookmobile staff and the Library Director, and responses will be provided in a timely manner.
