In an effort to give Jackson Parish residents better access to one of the best resources available, the Jackson Parish Library is looking to add new Bookmobile stop locations all over Jackson Parish, and would like to make your location/site one of the stops!
The Bookmobile is NOT just for kids and serves patrons of all ages, just like one of the main library branches, offering books, DVDs, and audiobooks for checkout, as well as programming at certain stops with plans to visit each location once every two weeks (with Holiday exceptions).
Requirements of a Bookmobile Stop
• Ample space to pull the Bookmobile in and out of your parking lot or neighborhood;
• Help in advertising when the Bookmobile will be at your location by sharing it in any way you communicate with people;
• Access to a bathroom (for our library staff, not the public) would be nice, but not required.
The Bookmobile typically schedules stops during the mornings and early afternoons, Monday-Thursday. The Bookmobile does not run on Fridays, as that is our designated maintenance and Outreach day each week.
You are asked to specify a good time for the stop to be made, as the Bookmobile schedule can be adjusted accordingly.
The effort is to find the best locations for the Bookmobile to reach the most patrons, and as new stops are added, there may be a possibility of schedule changes during the process.
Please feel free to stop by either the Jonesboro or Chatham Branches to pick up a “New Stop Request Form” at the front desk or follow this link to submit a form online: https://forms.gle/t72oKMkBCaHqMp6q9.
Alternatively, you can
Fax the form to: 318-259-3374 (ATTN: Emily)
Email the form to: outreach@jacksonparishlib.org
Mail the form to: 614 S. Polk Ave, Jonesboro, LA 71251.
A representative of the Jackson Parish Library will communicate with you once a schedule has been set and will send a schedule to you.
