Default Bookmobiles
The post about bookmobiles in the thread on Sumter Co Library reminded me about bookmobiles.

One of my earliest memories is of visiting the bookmobile in Davenport, IA at 3 or 4 years old. It started my love affair with books and, I suspect, also started me in the direction of higher education.

Anyone else remember bookmobiles? I know it is a mostly rural thing, but it is/was a wonderful way to get books to people and to turn children into readers.
