New bookmobile for Jamestown Library

Jamestown  (CSi)  The James River Valley Library System, Director Joe Rector reports, that the new bookmobile has arrived in Jamestown.

It arrived Monday from the manufacturer, OBS, in Canton, Ohio.

The Stutsman County Library was closed for a day so the staff can train driving it.

Rector has gotten permission to park the present bookmobile at the Buffalo City Diesel location until it can be sold.

Rector says the total bookmobile cost is $239,501, adding that five percent of the total bookmobile cost remains. The library receives a grant for $35,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture when the bookmobile arrives in Jamestown.
