Abstract:
The first bookmobile in the state was in service in July 1936 and in 1939, that number increased to 29. Bookmobiles were purchased by the North Carolina Library Commission, the Works Progress Administration and some were donated, but each served the same purpose of distributing reading material to rural areas without ready access to public libraries.
