Author and Librarian
We are coming up on our third anniversary for the Ruth Mini Mobile Library. I always like to wrap up with some end of the year announcements. The Library will be closed starting November 1, 2019, and will reopen when it’s safe to be out in public.
Our mobile library has grown so much in two years. We have given away 6,000+ books so far. Thank you for all your support.
Update: As of January 1, 2019 the Ruth Mini Mobile Library is up and running. We are still giving books away, but events are limited. An Online Catalog (OPAC) is in the works and is expected to be completed by the end of 2020.
When I started my mobile library, I never thought it would get so big so fast. It’s hard to fathom what 500 books even looks like, and luckily I took a picture.
Several people have asked me why I’m doing this, and my answer is simple: I love books, I love free stuff, and I love giving away free books. I want to make sure that no one ever has an excuse not to be reading.
I started my mobile library with $5 and 5 books, and it’s been very successful so far. We are thankful for the support and donations we have received.
