The Rochester Public Library (RPL) has two great ways that regularly bring library books and other materials all over Rochester and Olmsted County: the Bookmobile and BookBike!

This amazing vehicle is truly a library on wheels! According to RPL’s website, “the Bookmobile regularly carries more than 4,500 items, including adult and children’s books, audiobooks, magazines and DVDs.” That’s a lot of library going from place to place around town! Did you know: Rochester’s Bookmobile has the largest outreach of any bookmobile in Minnesota? Way to go, RPL!

Important things to know:

Schedule: The daily schedule of times and locations can be found on the Bookmobile’s website. The Bookmobile runs Tuesdays through Saturdays but is not open during inclement weather.
