What is the Bookmobile?

The Bookmobile is a small branch of the library, on wheels! It travels to the four corners of the district and carries most types of materials that are available at the Sandpoint or Clark Fork branches.

How can I use the Bookmobile?

When you see us at a stop, come in and explore. A selection of materials are available for you to check out. You can even use our free wifi. You can also request any library item and the Bookmobile staff will bring it to you at your preferred stop when it is available. Be sure to select the Bookmobile as the hold location.
Anything that is checked out from the Bookmobile can be returned to the Bookmobile at any of the stops, to the Clark Fork Library or the Sandpoint Library.

A New Bookmobile

The mission of the Library District is to provide access to opportunities for discovery, connection, and lifelong learning.  In order to serve the whole district as widely as possible and to fulfill this mission statement, the Bookmobile was purchased in 2000.

The Bookmobile has served the Library District for over 20 years and it’s for the big bus to retire! The Library is currently in the process of purchasing a new bookmobile.
