The Bookmobile

The Detroit-Windsor Bookmobile 1939-1989

The Detroit-Windsor Bookmobile was established in 1939 as a cross-border regional service as the New Deal sought to expand the outreach potential of libraries in the U.S.  We are currently conducting further research into the history of this unique bookmobile.
