[OPLINLIST] libraries with vans

[Linda Swartzel]

We are exploring the possibility of a van or mini bookmobile for our 
library.  We would like to be able to visit our local
senior centers/nursing facilities and preschools.  Ideally the vehicle 
would hold loaded book carts that we could wheel into buildings for 
people to select from.

Do any other libraries have something like this?  Where did you purchase 
it?  What was the cost?  Was it new or used?

Also, and most importantly, how did you finance it?  Did you locate 
grant money?  Did local businesses contribute?  Friends of the Library?

Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
