A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for a new bookmobile in Fall River, Massachusetts. The bookmobile was ordered two years prior, and the decision to purchase a brand new one, rather than a used one, was made after discussions with the Mayor and Mike Deon from the Community Development Agency. The total cost of the bookmobile was $222,000, which was entirely funded by ARPA money managed by the Community Development Agency. Future plans for the bookmobile include visiting city parks, potentially collaborating with the Community Development lunch program, and attending various city festivities such as farmers markets and craft shows. The acquisition of the bookmobile is expected to enhance community outreach and access to library services.
