West Florida Libraries Bookmobile Is Permanently Out Of Service
March 2, 2018
The West Florida Public Libraries Bookmobile service will resume this summer with a new vehicle.
“We are in the process of realigning the routes, and a replacement vehicle is out for bid,” Jamie Gillispie-Turner, communications specialist for the WFPL said.
WFPL’s former Bookmobile had excessive mechanical damage last week and is no longer in service. The bid for the replacement vehicle closes Friday, March 23. When bidding has ended, the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners will vote for approval. Once approved, it will undergo a transformation to become the new Bookmobile service vehicle.
In the meantime, current Bookmobile patrons will be served by the Books-by-Mail program. For more information contact any library branch.
The Bookmobile previously made regular scheduled stops at locations across Escambia County, including North Escambia area stops in Cantonment, Gonzalez and Davisville.

I hope it still comes to Beulah when it starts back.
Our little family cherished the afternoons that our Bookmobile stopped regularly near us. We raised our children here with no computers, cell phones or library near our home. Our girls were voracious readers and the Bookmobile was a Godsend for books we could not afford to purchase. They were little but knew the route and schedule better than their parents! How fun those days were!!
Get back on the road as soon as possible! Children cherish moving through the center aisle of that FUNMobile. It is an answer to a prayer for sweet families ready for the next great reading adventure. We need you more than ever.
