United States--North Carolina--Pitt County (N.C.)--Greenville (N.C.) This is an image of Pitt County’s second bookmobile from the spring of 1956. Essentially operating as mobile libraries, bookmobiles were used to deliver books and other materials to areas that did not have traditional library buildings. These programs were especially effective in granting access to rural and housebound people. This particular bookmobile was manufactured by the Gerstenslager Company and is remembered for its distinctive moustache-style grill. This is the second bookmobile owned by Sheppard Memorial Library. It was purchased in 1955 for $6000. bookmobiles education libraries Pitt County local, filename 2802.0001 27614256 image/tiff 6.0 PRONOM PUID: fmt/10 little endian uncompressed MD5 64122221125e50d0efee569305c8922d ecu:digital_collections 4145 3328 Grayscale BlackIsZero 125 mm 100 mm 20081007 Digital Collections Epson Perfection V750 PRO Silverfast Ai v6.4.4r7 object plane in. 875 1 875 1 16 integer 1 internal
