About the Bookmobile
Monday through Thursday the Bookmobile has scheduled stops in Albemarle County. Afternoons and evenings, the Bookmobile visits its scheduled stops in Charlottesville. The people who staff the Bookmobile are Marien Ruiz-Villaman, who heads the Bookmobile office and handles the Albemarle stops, and Alan Van Clief who handles the Charlottesville stops.
The Bookmobile has its own collection and carries 1800 to 2000 books to each stop. Patrons may place holds on materials and pick them up at their respective stops. Patrons may also request materials on particular subjects and we will bring a selection to the patron’s stop. The walls are lined with shelves of books that include fiction and nonfiction books for adults, teens, and children, as well as some books cd, and play aways. Included are mysteries, fantasy, biographies, cookbooks, history, and folk and fairy tales.
Books or other materials borrowed from the Bookmobile are checked out for one month. They may be renewed for another one month period. Materials borrowed from the Bookmobile may be returned to any JMRL location and materials from other JMRL locations may be returned to the Bookmobile.
Programs at JMRL
