BPL Food Truck Friday Begins Today, March 5; Proceeds Benefit BPL Bookmobile Project

-

 


 The Birmingham Public Library launched Food Truck Friday today, March 5, kicking off a series of events every Friday throughout March that allow the public to whet their palates and help support the 2021 BPL Bookmobile initiative. 

Thanks to a donation of a vehicle from the Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA), the Birmingham Public Library is preparing to convert it into a bookmobile that will take library services of books and other items beyond its buildings and deliver them to the community.

 Food Truck Friday will take place every Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at four BPL locations: 

 The schedule is as follows (all from 11:00 am. to 2:00 p.m.: 

 Central Library, 2100 Park Place

BPL plans to introduce its bookmobile later this year and is asking individuals and others who support the cause to join the effort. Your continued support of libraries is vital as much of our success depends on you! We look forward to seeing you! 

For decades, bookmobiles have been a popular outreach method used by public libraries across the United States to take library services beyond buildings to surrounding communities. Read this Alabama Yesterdays: Alabama Library History blog for background.
