When the Palm Springs Public Library temporarily relocated for renovation, many residents suddenly found themselves without easy access to the services and spaces they loved. Rather than letting distance become a barrier, this moment sparked innovation. My inspiration report explores how a modern bookmobile could bring the library back into the heart of the community by rolling into the community to deliver books, Wi-Fi, and creative programming right where people are.

Drawing from successful mobile library models across the world, the report envisions a flexible, technology-driven outreach service that embodies the library’s enduring mission of providing “our community with opportunities to discover, enjoy, enrich and connect with ideas and people throughout all stages of life.” (Palm Springs Public Library, n.d.).
