About the Bookmobile


Portland Public Library offers a variety of services beyond our physical locations. We reach beyond our Downtown Library and three branches to connect with people where they work, play, create, and live.

The centerpiece of our Portable Library activity is the Bookmobile, launched April 2013, with generous support from the Key Bank Foundation.

See our Holiday Schedule for planned closings.

The Bookmobile serves Portland neighborhoods without a nearby Library branch, individuals and families (particularly those with young children) who may lack transportation or the time to travel, or have health problems. We visit over 20 locations throughout the city including schools, residential areas, and special events. The Bookmobile holds 1,700 items for all ages – fiction, nonfiction, audiobooks, DVDs, graphic novels, picture books and chapter books for kids. The Bookmobile has wheelchair access, wireless Internet capabilities, and solar panels.
