READY TO ROLL Mrs. Addie Keegan prepares to take the Bookmobile out on one of
tier five routes. The Bookmobile takes books throughout the county and tries to cater to
its patrons. Special trips are made to take reading material to those who cannot come to
the public library. (Staff photo by Kathy Newbern)
Bookmobile Rolls
.By KATHY NKWBERN
One of the many services
offered to residents of
Perquimans County by the
county's public library is the
liookmobile. Through this
program, people t hroughout
i he county have access to a
wide variety of reading
material.
Started in the 1940s, the
liookmobile has grown in
size and service. At first a
truck smaller than the
current one was used. The
present Bookmobile was
obtained in 1957 and is a
walk-in type. When loaded
to capacity, the Bookmobile
will carry about 1,000 books.
Heading the Bookmobile
program County librarians
Mrs. Addie Keegan and
Mrs. S.M. Whedbee. The
Bookmobile is taken along
five routes each month. At
times, the two women go
together and often Ms.
Keegan goes alone.
The bookmobile is taken
oul on two Tuesdays and two
Thursdays of each months.
The first Tuesday route
takes the books to Chappell
Hill. Belvidere and
Whitest on. During the
secohd Tuesday trip, the
liookmobile travels to
Hurdle! own, Chapanoke and
Woodland. Since the library
is closed on Thursdays, both
women can travel the
Thursday routes together.
The first takes them to
Burgress, Bethel and back
along t he highway , while
their second Thursday route
goes to Whitehate, Durants
Neck and again, back along
the highway.
Along the various routes,
the Bookmobile makes
stops where people have
requested. Mrs. Keegan
pointed oul that the Book
mobile will stop at new
places as requested. She
said, "We're always glad for
people to call and ask us to
stop at a new place." Often,
special books that readers
have requested are taken to
them by the Bookmobile, or
books are selected that the
librarians feel will meet the
interests of the readers.
The people along the
routes know where the
Bookmobile will stop and
the approximate time.v
Headers are usually there to
meet the women or appear
at the sound of the horn.
Mrs. Keegan recalled once
when the Bookmobile was
accused of being a fish truck
when the horn was blown.
Often, special once-a-monlh
trips are made to
Morgan's Nursing Home or
to out of the way places
where the readers have
requested. Special effort is
made to get books to elderly
citizens or people who
cannot come into Hertford
to check books out of the
public library.
The librarians pointed out
that in the winter, par
ticipation in the bookmobile
program is reduced and
interest picks up again in
summer when children are
not in school. .Often in the
summer, 300 books are
circulated by the Book
mobile in one day while the
winter circulation ranges
from 50 to 100. Books are
circulated for two weeks
and are renewable just as is
the procedure at the
Perquimans County
Library.
Books used on the Book
mobile are taken from the
county library and include
all types as well as
magazines.
The librarians noted that
trouble on the road had
been at a minimum since the
Bookmobile program was
first started. Mrs. Keegan
said, "When there were dirt
roads, we used to get stuck a
lot. Sometimes we'd have to
walk a couple of miles to get
someone to pull us out." The
only other trouble has been
an occasional flat tire.
The women have no
problem driving the Book
mobile, but one did . admit
that it is a bit "top heavy
and hard to turn around.
