Mr. Pink and his lovely sister, Ms. Pink, have been with us for years now and it is beginning to show. Most of the time they just hang out there on the dash, looking ugly. Occasionally, they get pressed into duty as a prop for story time. In their most heroic roles they comfort little ones who are frightened by the whole bookmobile experience.

Anyone who has ever spent a winter's day on a Bookmobile knows that keeping your feet warm is a challenge. The thin flooring material and carpet are no match for cold temps and a howling wind, even with the heat blasting. In fact, the bookmobile itself can be quite comfortable, but it is still nearly impossible to keep your feet warm. Unless, that is, you know an old Amishman's trick. Plastic

Back when I first started bookmobiling 7 years ago, our community relations department had some nice hats made up with the Library System of Lancaster County logo emblazoned on the front. "The Hat" quickly became established as a crucial element in this bookmobiler's uniform. Besides the jaunty curved bill and the stylish green color, The Hat served some useful purposes. 1) It keeps the sun

Goths in a Hat Stormed the Ephrata Parade last night with backup from the Bookmobile. These teen volunteers for the Ephrata Public Library blanketed the parade route with candy and 3,000 copies of a special edition newsletter from the Ephrata Public Library. In case you are tempted to let a little black lipstick fool you, don't. These kids worked hard on a hot night on a parade route that

We had a great time last night in Quarryville where we were escorted in style by these Book Worms along the parade route. It was a glorious evening and folks came out in droves. It was heartening to hear the shouts of support for the Quarryville Library as we passed by. If you've ever wondered about the place of libraries in small towns, you should hitch a ride with us during a parade and hear

I think you'll enjoy The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon. A mystery told from the perspective of Christopher, a 15 year old with Asperger's Syndrome, the book draws into sharp relief the assumptions we make about normality. You can find the book at any public library in Lancaster County.
