Abstract:

Rockingham County Library initiated the Bookmobile program to serve rural citizens without access to public libraries. In 1930, Mrs. B Frank Mebane and other active citizens organized the Rockingham County Library in Leaksville. The library purchased a van that traveled to 120 different stops in Rockingham County. Inspired by this example, in 1943 all counties operated a bookmobile system.
