Here in the Halifax Regional Municipality, bookmobile service ended in 2011 and that was, I believe, a mistake. Bringing services to folks living in rural areas can be a lifeline, especially for marginalized folks and should be prioritized. Communities served by bookmobiles even today have poor internet access and books have special value because of that.

I would later devour Choose Your Own Adventure books and game books, planting seeds for my love of TTRPGs. Later I would take out novels and nonfiction books ravenously. I'm shaped profoundly by the bookmobile and my politics are informed as profoundly as my reading life. Bringing people what they need and desire requires systems like libraries and their bookmobiles to be pushing out access to every person where they are.

Growing up in rural Nova Scotia, I didn't have a local library I could visit, but I did have the magic of a bookmobile. The bookmobile, a bus filled with books, would visit on a reliable schedule and stepping onto it was a wonderful experience.
