jeeeze.. what a great way to spend your life... driving around with this exactly car, bringing books to the people.

I just love how proper everyone dressed back then!

Shame, they only have about 12 books...

Although my grade school had plenty of books (that you could borrow) in every classroom, our grade school didn't have its own library, so a county library bookmobile came by. Looked a lot like this one. Got exposed to Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke, Heinlein, and many other SF authors whose books they carried. Probably the only thing about school I looked forward to. Sincere thanks and cheers for the people of the Ohio Lucas County Library and their bookmobiles.

That wagon (red of course) brings back memories!!

It looks like only men could borrow books from this one.

That book that little girl is carrying, Nicodemus and his little sister by Inez Hogan, that book is worth a pretty penny today. I just saw one for sale for $225.00 on Alibris.com. There were a few Nicodemus books out there by the author.

Ooh ooh, Multnomah County...that's *my* library! Wowee zowee! 📚😍

Why would a city like this seems to be, not have a tax-supported library?

Notice the wheelchair that man is in. Today's chairs have reversed the wheels. At least that wheelchair you can recline in.

I remember but not this early

Oh my! They really DO look rather in a rush!

Isn't this where somebody says,"Road?"

Would this make a good Christmas novella?

1920's?? I'd say more like 50's

Such a sweet photo!

looks like an artists rendering. Almost cartoonish.

Again, males only.

And now, we step into the more modern book mobiles of the lot.

I loved the bookmobile.Wish we still had them.

Now there is a Library with a..view.

Oh that scenery.... so breathtaking..

OHIO

Nice. See the tail light? Just one as they were in the day but that one, I believe, was actually a lamp. Light it and drive at night.

that girl's expression on the far left of the picture. Either she is having trouble reading or lunch isnt sitting to well with her.

this is a 39 Chev prob. a wooden wagon converted.

I agree. The contemporary version could read, "County Library We Need to Keep Ours'.

Wow! I've never seen a streetcar library before. Why couldn't New Orleans have done that?

Why aren't all bookshelves, even in-home ones slanted even slightly? It just makes such good sense!

Notice the hood emblem. Still called Dodge Brothers.

Its a dodge brothers.

Love this. Not a lot of people read books anymore but I do. There is nothing that compares to it!

Yes

What a beautiful building!

Love this one too! Look at all the women eager to read and learn!

This photo was taken at the Kern County Fairgrounds, possibly during the fair!

love the smiles!!!!

This is definitely not in the 1920s. The girl on the steps is wearing a 1940s style head wrap and cut off denim shorts, which would NEVER have been worn in the 20s, nor did little boys go shirtless or wear jeans. The styles indicate the 1940s.

Wonder if that's a movie or slide screen in front ?

Same photo as #2

Standing? She looks like she is sitting to me.

Sign on the left "Manners can be fun". Love it!

That might as well have been me there at 10 yrs.old😁

Are those magnets announcing the next arrival? Glob, these are all so incredible! 😮😍

Looks like swim trunks on the little guy😉

early studabaker truck

I drove this for 2 of my college years. 1974-76!

Magnifique!

That looks like an old milk truck converted.

Wow. The leather straps. That must have smelt really nice when the Sun would shine on it.

Not a Radio Flyer?

Kid on the right...too cool for school.

Even Lassie loves books!!

My God. What an amazing picture!

Can't help but recall that only a few years earlier some people were burning books in Germany. Wonderful how enlightenment always returns. But at great cost.

Is that you standing at the door holding the ladies hand

Wow, that baby sure saw better days eh.
