The FCPL Bookmobile is on the road! Visitors can come aboard and check out books and DVDs, access wi-fi, use a computer, and print documents. See the Outreach Events calendar to find a stop in a neighborhood near you.

The launch of the Bookmobile is a result of the library’s strategic plan and is intended to help the library reach its goal of serving the entire Forsyth County community. The Bookmobile lowers barriers to using public libraries by bringing books, technology, and resources to areas that are further away from the library’s physical locations.

FCPL invested approximately $400,000 in the Bookmobile vehicle, books and materials, and onboard computer equipment. Funding for the Bookmobile was provided by impact fees.
