Rawls Regional Library Bookmobile Reach for the World

#FFFFFF
Walter Cecil Rawls, the founder of the Rawls Library System, was a firm advocate of the library being for all people and was the first to suggest Bookmobile service. This service was to reach people who often would never visit a library any other way. In the spring of 1959 Bookmobile service was put into operation on National Library Week.
Our current Bookmobile was purchased in 2002, is 26 feet long, and features a wheelchair lift at the rear of the bus.
The Bookmobile runs on a two week schedule which allows us to be at our stops every other week. We service Isle of Wight, Southampton, and Sussex Counties in Virginia. We have seven routes on our schedule.
The mission of the Bookmobile is to meet our patron's needs. We will take requests for anything that you do not see and try to bring it on our next trip. We also have Interlibrary Loan Services through our main library.
