Can't make it to the Library?
We'll bring the Library to you!
 |
Did you know? In 1935 the WPA (Works Progress Administration) started the Pack Horse Library in eastern Kentucky--Women delivering books on horseback to rural areas of Kentucky. From this program came bookmobiles in 1954. |
Bookmobile service is available throughout McCreary County on a two-week rotating schedule for anyone unable to use the main library. The bookmobile carries hundreds of books for Adults and Children including Large Print and Audio.
The following is a guide to areas of the county with established routes. Current schedules are printed in the McCreary County Record weekly with the Library Notes column and announced daily on WHAY Radio.
| The bookmobile always welcomes new stops! If you need the bookmobile to stop closer to you, just give us a call at 376-8738 and we can arrange it. We want every citizen of the county to have access to the Library |
