I just want to call attention to the fact that St. Paul was able to raise $143,000 for a brand new bookmobile, larger than the old one and able to carry at least 5000 books, tapes, cd's etc. Minneapolis, however, has not yet been able to do the same. I believe that a new Bookmobile is a high priority and that prompt attention be paid to raising the required funds - perhaps through a donation from one of the major auto manufacturers....
