HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library unveiled a new outreach vehicle to help provide services to the community.
The new vehicle was funded by a gift from Madison County Commission Chairman Dale W. Strong and will join the fleet of vehicles that brings library services to the community.
“In addition to our 11 locations throughout Madison County, the Outreach Department provides crucial library services to many in our community, including seniors and preschoolers,” said HMCPL Outreach Manager Mandy. “We are essentially a library on wheels.”
The library said that the vehicle will be used to support its Ready Reader program, which servers approximately 100 classrooms monthly in Madison County.
“The Ready Reader vehicle is a valuable tool to the children and students of our 3 public school systems to encourage a love of reading, imagination, and creativity,” said Madison County Commission Chairman Dale W. Strong. “In today’s unique learning environment at both the school and home, expanding the reach of important educational tools to our children is another way we can invest in their future.”
Once the pandemic is over, the library said the vehicle will be used to support other programs.
