The goal of the Children's Readmobile Service is to improve the school readiness of children from birth to 6 years old and to serve as a gateway experience to the world of libraries.
The Children's Readmobile Service brings the Library directly to underserved communities who are new to libraries or don't have easy access to a community library.
Children's libraries on wheels, the two Readmobile vehicles make over 90 monthly visits to childcare homes, family literacy and early childhood programs, and summer programs Monday through Friday, year-round in Hennepin County.
The Children's Readmobile Service provides early learning and literacy experiences through programming and materials for children in childcare and other early childhood development programs. The experience includes lively interactive storytimes designed to stimulate young children's interest in books and reading, and to build vocabulary, narrative skills, and print awareness.
A wide range of children's books, magazines, puppets, music CDs and other media are available on each vehicle for checkout and there is full access to the entire Hennepin County Library collection.
