Your Investment. Your Library. Your Community.

Library2Go! And Digital Discovery Zone Vehicles

Details:
To bring more books and library resources to people in the community, five new outreach vehicles hit the streets in August 2010. The vehicles expand services currently provided by KCLS’ other outreach vehicles. Four of the vehicles, Library2Go!, are outfitted as mini-bookmobiles and stop at childcare centers, low-income housing and senior centers each week in KCLS’ service area. The fifth van, the Digital Discovery Zone, is equipped with computers and software for outreach to teens and people of all ages, allowing them to create computer graphics, games and animations. The Digital Discovery Zone stops at schools, community centers, after-school programs and senior centers. The vehicles rotate between KCLS’ 46 libraries, with different library staff using the vehicles each week for outreach in their community. The vehicles were designed with several green features, including solar panels on the roof that recharge the batteries and interiors furnished with recycled materials.
