GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — If you can't get out to a library this summer, Grand Rapids Public Library (GRPL) is bringing books to you!

GRPL's mobile library is hitting the road next week and will be visiting communities around Grand Rapids all summer.

“We know that not all community members are able to visit a library location or access our digital services due to transportation or digital barriers”, shares Katie Zychowski, Marketing & Communications Director. “We are committed to ensuring that all members of our city have access to our materials & services and Mobile Library route visits are integral to that work.”
