Screven & Jenkins Bookmobile

10/14/2024

Many of the adults in Screven and Jenkins Counties have fond memories of visiting the bookmobile and being greeted by the "Bookmobile Lady," Barbara Gilbert. For 33 years, she would travel the roads of our counties, visiting communities and homebound patrons as she shared the joy of reading with everyone.

Sadly, we learned today that Barbara has passed away. You may find her obituary and funeral arrangements at www.thompsonstricklandwaters.com/obituaries/barbra-gilbert

We'll miss you, Barbara.

View Barbara Lee Waters Gilbert's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

It's sad to see empty shelves on a vehicle that served so long and so well.

The last of the books have been removed from the bookmobile.
