The BiblioBus holds 600 items to browse and borrow including DVDs, bilingual baby books, graphic novels and copies of the library’s most requested books in English and Spanish.
The BiblioBus expanded stops include senior centers and apartments, transitional housing, schools, low- income housing and remote communities, giving the library the opportunity to build community connections through outreach, and to meet the public where they are.
