Bookmobile


Convenience

What could be easier than picking up a few books from the Bookmobile while shopping at your local shopping center?
Our mobile library provides a time-saving alternative to a drive to a branch library. It also extends library services to residents in outlying areas of Duval County, where branch libraries are not located.

Variety

With more than 4,000 books, the Bookmobile's collection offers materials for children and adults, including both fiction and non-fiction.
  • The reading level of children's books ranges from preschool through sixth grade.
  • The adult collection includes traditional books, paperback books, large print books, books on tape and CD, and magazines. There is also a small reference section.

The Bookmobile is a mobile branch of the Jacksonville Public Library. It provides the same service as any other branch.
If the book you want is not on the Bookmobile, please request the book to be sent to the Bookmobile. You will receive a notice when the Bookmobile has your book. The item you requested will be carried on the Bookmobile for the following two stops.
