Our Vision
Bookmobile service in Door County began as a three year “demonstration” in 1950. This experiment, designed by the Wisconsin Free Library Commission, set out with two Bookmobiles in the region.
Today, nearly 75 years later, our vision is to :
- Provide mobile educational and historical resources to Door County residents and visitors.
• Preserve, maintain and share a diverse collection of Door County history.
• Foster and partner with a strong connected community by furthering knowledge to current and future generations.
Here comes the Bookmobile!
In 1950, the goal was to prove that a mobile library service provided critical value in the development of citizens as a provider of new ideas. It was often the only connection to the broader community for those living in rural areas deeply isolated (and often divided by) the geography of the Door County peninsula.
