Food Truck Friday Continues Today; Proceeds Benefit BPL Bookmobile

-
Proceeds benefit the 2021 BPL Bookmobile Initiative.

The Birmingham Public Library's Food Truck Friday continues today, March 12. Every Friday throughout the month of March, look out for food trucks at four BPL locations across the city, buy a meal 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 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 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 


Friday, March 19 - Kamali Creole Kitchen

Friday, March 26 - Kamali Creole Kitchen

 Avondale Regional Library, 509 40th Street South 

Friday, March 19 – Pazzo Big Slice Pizza  

Springville Road Regional Library, 1224 Springville Road 


Five Points West  Regional Library, 4812 Avenue W 




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.
