Bookmobile Stop Application

The Bookmobile is Erie County Public Library’s mobile branch. This branch provides ECPL materials for browsing, offers a mobile computer lab, hosts programs, delivers holds, and makes available most of the services patrons enjoy at our brick and mortar libraries.

Organizational contacts may use the form below to apply for a service stop on the bookmobile’s biweekly route. Requests will be considered quarterly; stops will undergo ongoing evaluation.

Special events or one-time visit? Please use our Outreach Event Application.

We prioritize stops that will:

• Serve patrons not otherwise reached by ECPL locations
• Offer promotion opportunities for the library or is at a location with high visibility
• Be welcoming, safe, and accessible to the public and members of our staff
• Provide patrons the opportunity to browse on the vehicle (wheelchair lift available)
• Maximize ECPL’s service to all of Erie County
