Brunswick County Library reports 6‑month bookmobile outreach: 5,000 patrons served

Library staff presented a six‑month report on the county bookmobile, which began service in March and has been visiting childcare centers, senior living communities and public spaces on a three‑week rotation. Patricia Duke (library representative) said the vehicle carries roughly 3,500 items, has circulated almost 3,000 items as of August 31 and has issued over 227 adult library cards and 22 juvenile cards through outreach.

Duke highlighted non-book services on board including Wi‑Fi, early‑literacy programs and kits for patrons, and noted partnerships with community events and BCC. Commissioners commended the outreach and asked about scheduling and potential continuation; staff noted the service is available by request via the library website.
