Bookmobiles can not only visit different neighborhoods to deliver their service, but they are also ideally placed<br />

to remind people of the library service more generally.<br />

Following the bookmobile tradition, the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore offers a “Zoo-mobile” for outreach to local<br />

schools and local events. Another approach is to hold events in large local institutions. For example, the Troy<br />

Public Library hosted an event with a local hospital, where staff, patients, and interested locals discussed a new<br />

book relating to medical ethics. The library and hospital promoted the event, and the library held copies of the<br />

book in several formats.<br />
