Bookmobile Gets 'New Look'
The Tuscaloosa County Bookmobile looks almost new now, thanks to the overhauling and painting job completed recently by the Board of Education, Miss Barbara Davis, librarian said yesterday. Funds amounting to around $500 were used to get the library on wheels in prime condition to travel over the roads and highways of the county.
A new roof, new shelves, locks, lights, and a coat of green paint have made it shine. A new Civitan sign has been repainted on the doors, to complete the decoration. The Civitan Club in collaboraion with the Board of Education has been responsible for the Bookmobile, Civitan members buying the truck, with the Board of Education purchasing the body and shelves, Miss Davis said.
The Bookmobile is responsible for carrying necessary books to schools over the county so the Board of Education buys the books and pays the driver, Mrs. B. O. Bounds. Miss Mary Guy is bookmobile librarian, and her salary is paid by the Library Board.
The Bookmobile covers schools and communities throughout the county and will stop along the way between regular stations, Miss Davis said.
