Description
MOBILE LIBRARIES HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE 1905, BRINGING LITERARY SERVICES TO COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. TWO YEARS AGO, THE MONROVIA PUBLIC LIBRARY, CA, LAUNCHED AN AFTER SCHOOL MOBILE LITERACY AND RECREATION PROGRAM. THE GOAL FOR THE PROGRAM WAS TO PROVIDE A VARIETY OF LITERACY AND RECREATION PROGRAMS TO YOUTH IN THE UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS OF OUR COMMUNITY. Program activities included tutoring for youth and adults, active and passive games, arts and crafts, as well as story times, and we provided access to health and wellness information by distributing pamphlets and conducting presentations through local nutrition and mental health agencies. To manage the activities, a team of librarians and recreation specialists served as program staff.
