The Bookmobile

The mission of the Bookmobile is to increase literacy by increasing access to books and information. The Bookmobile began as an idea in September of 2016.

The South Bartow Community Needs Assessment, conducted by the Northwest Georgia Regional Public Health Office of Chronic Disease Prevention, had revealed numerous gaps in services and opportunities in the South Bartow area. These included library services, youth programs, family programs, and educational supports. The Bartow Bookmobile was conceived as a way to begin addressing some of these needs

We’ve had some questions about this, so I want to address it for any others who’ve been wondering. πŸ’―% of funds raised by Bookmobile fundraisers and donations stay with the Bookmobile and are used ONLY for Bookmobile programs. The merger with the Etowah Foundation - Bartow County does NOT include a co-mingling of funds. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you 😊 for your continued support! Tickets 🎟️ still available for next week’s β€œOnce Upon a Wine Tasting” 🍷 fundraiser. Visit Once Upon a Wine Tasting fundraiser to purchase! 😍
