BPL's Bookmobiles take library services on the road, bringing books, technology and programs to neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn. The vehicles visit schools, shelters, parks and more, serving thousands of patrons where they live, work and play.
Our walk-up service model means you can enjoy BPL's resources entirely outside. Bookmobile library collections are set up on the sidewalk, so you can browse, borrow and return books on the go.
Meet the Fleet
Each of BPL's vehicles carries a specially curated collection. When you stop by, you can check materials in or out, sign up for a library card and more. There are four vehicles in the fleet:
- Two standard Bookmobiles: BPL's classic Bookmobiles offer library card registration and books for all ages. Plus, they are equipped with antenna so you can access free WiFi when you're nearby!
- Techmobile: visit BPL's WiFi-enabled Techmobile to borrow a laptop for use at one of our outdoor tables. There are also desktop computers and a printer available inside the Techmobile.
- Kidsmobile: BPL's Kidsmobile offers a variety of books for children and teens.
