Bookmobile Schedule Changing May 16

Thank you, Corey and Sabrina! Our Bookmobile Supervisor (Corey) is retiring, and our Bookmobile Assistant (Sabrina) is leaving for other opportunities. We thank them both for their years of dedication to the community and the Bookmobile.

While we hire new teammates, the Bookmobile will be on a limited schedule. This schedule is effective Saturday, May 16. We plan to revisit this schedule at the end of June. To see our most up-to-date version of the schedule, keep an eye on RacineLibrary.info/hours.
