Explorer Kids' Bookmobile
Explorer Kids' Bookmobile brings the total library experience to kids.
As a true mobile library, Explorer's design encourages young users to browse, read and talk about books. Kids can check out books, work on computers, attend story time in the two-tiered seating area or get personal help from a caring librarian while on board.
Schedule Information
Explorer is coming soon to a neighborhood near you, including visits to Fife, Frederickson and Lakewood! Find out when and where Explorer will be stopping next.
For more information, please call 253-548-3536.
What makes Explorer special?
Explorer has an expandable wall.
To have room for wall-to-wall books and lots of kids, the checkout desk sits on a movable floor. The motorized unit slides out when the vehicle is parked, so kids can move around and interact with library staff. Take a peek inside Explorer >>
Explorer is a collaborative effort.
Explorer Bookmobile programs are a partnership between Pierce County Library System, local schools, family and youth agencies and libraries.
Why Explorer Kids' Bookmobile?
Begun in 2000, Community Outreach Services and Youth Services Departments embarked upon the Kids' Bookmobile Project to lay the foundation for reading and life-long learning skills for children and youth who are most isolated from library services.
Funding
The Pierce County Library Foundation, the fund-raising arm of the library, successfully sought grants and gifts from foundations, corporations, service clubs and individuals to extend the library's budget by funding more than 50% of this program.
If you are interested in this or other funding opportunities with the Pierce County Library System, please contact Lynne Hoffman, Pierce County Library Foundation Director, 253-548-3456 or lhoffman@piercecountylibrary.org.
