The Monterey Public Library invites everyone to join us on Saturday, December 6, from 2 - 4 p.m. to celebrate the arrival of the new Bookmobile!  The event will include tours, food, fun and prizes. The celebration will take place in the parking lot behind the Library at 625 Pacific Street, which will be closed to automobiles.  Parking will be available in the Cypress lot on Pacific Street, just south of the Library, and in the Civic Center lot behind the Police and Fire stations. 

This is Monterey's third generation Bookmobile, the first introduced in 1956, and the second in 1984. The vehicle makes regular stops in outlying neighborhoods throughout Monterey. Some of the features of the new Bookmobile include a solar-powered generator for lighting and electricity and the capability to run on bio-diesel fuel. Other improvements include an extra low floor, which means no stairs to climb, and public access to the Internet. 

For additional information call 831.646.3710.
