On Hasafran, Abigail Yasgur referred Denise Kleinman to me - for some information on a Jewish bookmobile.
Thanks for the referral, Abigail, you have a good memory! Yes, I did do extensive research on the possibility that the Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles, of which Abigail was Director at the time, might provide bookmobile services. However, my research was at least 15 years ago - certainly not pertinent today. And I no longer have my files on that subject since I've been retired for 14 years. Sorry I can't be of direct help. However, Denise, I googled "library bookmobiles" just for fun now and there appear to be many libraries that have bookmobile services. You might try writing to some of those libraries and request answers to your questions. I don't think the Judaica component is important for this topic. Also, try Bing.com as your search engine. It has topics like: Bookmobiles and Outreach Services, Bookmobile Manufacturers, Bookmobile Companies, Bookmobile History, Used Bookmobiles. Try to extrapolate the data that you need and apply it to your own situation. Finally, your local public and university libraries may have some books on the topic too. Good luck! Barbara Y.
