My Bookmobile

Built by the last manufacturer in America producing bookmobiles from the ground up, the Maroney BF-240 holds 3200 volumes on her beautiful Appalachian kiln-dried oak shelves.

Recently decommissioned by the Warren-Newport Library after 15 years and 70,000 miles of faithful service in the Chicago suburban landscape, the “old gal” carries the legacy of having distributed countless volumes in her campaign to educate children and adults throughout the Great Lakes region.

As the heart, soul and center of Behind the Wheel of a Bookmobile she is now looking forward to continuing her mission by bringing together great writers and readers across the United States and getting her first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean.
