Cleveland County Relaunches Mobile Library Service

SHELBY, N.C.- Thanks to a generous LSTA Grant from the State Library of North Carolina and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Cleveland County Library System (CCLS) is excited to announce the relaunch of its mobile library service. This revitalized initiative is designed to bring the library experience directly to the residents of Cleveland County.

“The mobile library will not only inspire a love of reading in children but also make library resources accessible to senior adults and others who may face challenges visiting our Main or Spangler branches,” said Todd Dellinger, Outreach Manager. “We are thrilled to be a part of this exciting new chapter for CCLS, bringing library services to every corner of Cleveland County.”

The newly revamped bookmobile will offer a range of library resources, including books, DVDs, audiobooks, and a library of things, all available for checkout at convenient community stops. Additionally, the mobile library will provide programming, such as preschool story times, workforce development training, and a seed library.

The bookmobile will also feature a mobile makerspace, equipped with tools such as a 3D printer, Cricut vinyl cutter, craft supplies, and other creative resources to foster hands-on learning and innovation throughout the County.

With this innovative service, the Cleveland County Library System is enhancing access to information, education, and community engagement for all residents.
