Having a Bookmobile is a great way to bring library services to underserved communities. My city library has been looking to create one for years, maybe it will finally happen soon (if funding goes smoothly)! I think it is a good idea to attract adults to use the Bookmobile as well.

As an upcoming Gen Z librarian, I find myself always browsing through TikTok and Instagram, and my algorithm eventually leads me to #BookTok and its plethora of fantasy novels.
