The bookmobile can hold up to thousands of various books. The “air-conditioned mobile library, which features a television, DVD player, satellite dish and three computers, cost $222,780 and was paid through proceeds from Library Foundation fund-raisers since 2005, said Mike Ryan (Library Foundation Treasurer )”

The routes are classified into two: BLUE Route and RED Route. And you need a library card to take advantage of this service.
