In April GPL rolled out it’s newest service the WOWmobile aka the mobile library or bookmobile.   The Georgetown Public Library WOWmobile  (Words on Wheels) provides personalized, comprehensive library service to people who may have difficulty visiting our community library–including seniors, the physically limited, and children and teens.  The WOWmobile carries a range of items including books for children, teens and adults, reference books, bestsellers, large print titles, CDs and DVDs.

During the summer the bookmobile will stop at area schools, the GISD administration building, the Georgetown Tennis Center and various apartment complexes to reach kids and teens.  All you need is a GPL library card and the ability to visit the WOWmobile at one of it’s stops.  So if you can’t make it to the library, the library will now come to you. For a list of stops and times visit the library website and click on the Bookmobile tab of the Events calender.

For more information visit the WOWmobile’s website.

Now is the time to share your ideas on what events to have at the library, what materials to purchase, and other ways to make the library a better place for teens. It’s your chance to boss us around.
