End of the Year Announcements 2019
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.
My Journey To Success as a Published Author
In this post, I will keep you up to date on all the amazing accomplishments I have achieved since publishing my first book.
2 Years of Free Books
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.
Mobile Library Hiatus Update As Of July 2018
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.
Their Trash Will Always Be My Book Treasure
One of the best books I received was a 1937 edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and a 1950 edition of Leaves of Grass. Can you believe that someone was going to throw these books away in the trash? It’s heartbreaking, to say the least.
From 5 to 500 Books, Nothing Can Stop Me Now
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.
Who Wouldn’t Want a Free Book?
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.
The Extraordinary Texas Library Association Conference (2017)
As many of you know, I’m studying to be a librarian and I run my own mobile library. Being able to go to this convention was a dream come true. All I did was spend a couple of hours volunteering.
Bringing the Mobile Library Back to San Antonio, Texas
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.
