Serving Wayne County Residents Since 1940
The Mobile Library, affectionately known to some as the Bookmobile, provides Detroit Public Library services to locations throughout Detroit and Highland Park.
Equipped with 4 public use computers, free WiFi, and a public use printer, the Mobile Library also stocks books for all ages in English, Spanish and Arabic. Our Mobile Reference Librarian can issue and renew library cards to residents, help with material selection, and place holds for pick up on the Mobile Library or at any DPL branch.
During the school year, the Mobile Library primarily serves schools throughout Detroit and Highland Park. During the summer months, you can find the Mobile Library at locations around the city including Eastern Market and the Riverfront, and in neighborhoods at parks and community events.
