If you saw a bookmobile out and about, what would you hope to find inside?

jlhammar I loved this graphic novel! Read it years ago and still think about it. 2y
Kayla.Adriena A book mobile that looked just like this used to come to my Elementary school , I don't think it's in existence anymore 2y

#AboutAugust Day 25: this is an #atypical bookmobile, clearly. I see this as a cautionary tale for those who constantly imagine and envision a reality that exists only in forgotten pages and lost words – rendered virtually meaningless in the end by the constant waiting and perhaps a painful or humdrum or equally meaningless now. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-5tP

Eggs Great choice and review-yes, atypical concept 👍🏼 4y

We insisted on being the only people on the bus this week. For our turn. Massive amounts of women and children thinking it‘s just fine to be without masks .. that‘s nice.
Not around me and my grandson are you going to be. Massive dirty looks and talking under the breath at us .. the bus is a public school book trading bus that goes around town ..#selfishpeoplesuck

GingerAntics Good job, grandma!!! You gotta protect yourself and the little ones. That strange rash thing is terrifying on kids. You both get a cookie. Let ‘em gawk. That‘s a responsible adult, and a responsible adult to be, they‘re looking at. 4y

Scochrane26 My new dream job is to be the person who sits in the entrance of our library reading in between keeping count of patrons & making sure they have masks on. 4y

Prairiegirl_reading @TheBookHippie that‘s awesome that he said that!!! People can think what they want, you just keep being safe! 4y
Soubhiville Good for both of you! Stay safe, and you‘re protecting your community as well! 4y
marleed Everyday I continue to be shocked and angered that someone would leave their home and not wear a mask out of respect for others. I fear America‘s politicization of masks is now impacting how pro Trumper‘s in other countries act, as well. 4y
TheBookHippie @marleed it astounds me . The pure selfishness of it . 4y
Anna40 Well done! 4y
Moonprismpower I mean can‘t the bookmobile park and set up a cart or book baskets outside for those waiting in line while families take turns??? Or the driver could also offer a storytime outside? Glad you stood up for yourself. I‘m a librarian and we are only offering curbside. I wish we had a bookmobile. 4y

This was... weird. I didn‘t really like the author‘s illustrations which are of course a major component of this book. It was sort of a weird short story with illustrations rather than a true graphic novel, I think. It was the length of a children‘s book but definitely NOT suitable for children with a very dark turn at the end. Not sure who the target audience was here but I wasn‘t a fan.

Zoe and Em kept me company, so it was still nice.

There I was strolling down the rows at my library and this book just about jumped off the shelf in my hands. I had no idea this author had a graphic novel! In true Audrey Niffenegger fashion this book takes a dark turn, but I forgave that with all the bookish love this book holds. 4⭐️ #2020book13

Tracyantoon Looks great!! Wish I could get this at my library. 😢 Who knew she did a graphic novel? Love bookish serendipity. 🥰📚 4y

A beautiful book about a woman who is tortured by her dreams so commits suicide and goes to book heaven. I read it on the train on the way home from work on this cold and windy day as I need to return it to the library.

I posted about this one a few months ago but wanted to repost for #becausethenight. Not only is it a fantastic book but also perfect for the prompt.

This is a short graphic novel but any reader will be able to visualize themselves in the bookmobile. #marchintothe70s

I like a dark twist as much as the next gal, but there needs to be some sense to it, and this one seemed to come out of nowhere. I love the idea behind a bookmobile that houses all that you‘ve read in your life, and the concept of becoming the librarian in charge of that is intriguing, but this needed more build-up to make sense.

I would need a whole Winnebago just to house my unfinished books. 😂

This is a delightful short story about a woman that stumbles upon a bookmobile one night. It houses every single book she‘s ever read, and she becomes obsessed with it, to the point that the bookmobile and reading overtake her life. It has a dark undertone but is also exciting.

And with this book, I‘ve completed #pop18 🥳🥳🥳🥳

A charming & short graphic novel with surprising emotional depth. The titular bookmobile randomly appears. It is personalized for each individual & contains everything they've read. The main character is only allowed a few hours to browse before she is asked to leave & has no idea when she'll see the bookmobile again.

Texreader Sounds very odd; and then I saw the author. Having to add this to the tbr list! 7y
vivastory @Texreader I really liked it. Short & the art is great. 7y

This is my library's #bookmobile! I hope someday soon that I can help man it and see how one of these puppies operates (via books, not mechanics 😂😜). The only other bookmobile I've ever come across is Penguin Random House's when they have it at the Javits Center for #BookCon. Our library's bookmobile is a much bigger beast. #LitsyLovesLibraries

One of those books that feels like it was written for me-so many people must be head over heels for this story! It's far from flawless and I felt the end was unnecessarily severe. I can't stop thinking about it though-always a good sign. She's a captivating writer with a real flair for the unexplainable. This will be on my bookshelf for a long time to come.

I love the library! I was super surprised that my library even had this graphic novel. They don't have many in their catalogue.

CynCruz23 Just picked this up from my library too! A lot of people I know think the library is old fashioned and stodgy but they don't know how hip it actually is. While they go out and spend money on books they're not sure, I'll be enjoying my FREE previews! 🤗 8y
Adrienne_KG @CynCruz23 I borrow around 5 books per week from my local library. It's a win-win for everyone! I'm saving money and don't feel as guilty if I don't finish a book because I didn't pay for it AND my support keeps my local library open! So many libraries and bookshops closing - it's sad 😥 8y
