In operation since 1960, the Allegany County Bookmobile holds the
distinction of
being the only county library on wheels. The Bookmobile carries a wide
variety of the most current materials for adults, teens, and children including, books, magazines, large
print, DVDs, music, video games, and bestsellers. There is an Interlibrary Loan
service to request
titles that are unavailable.
The
Bookmobile schedules stops to schools, nursing homes, day cares, and
neighborhoods throughout the county weekly. All
scheduled stops are open to the public.
The
Bookmobile was donated in memory of Dr. Benedict Skitarelic through the
generosity of his family.
