Queens Public Library's Bookmobile program takes library service to the streets, bringing books and activities to neighborhoods all across our borough.
Our Mobile Libraries contain books, movies, and magazines. We can also help you sign up for a library card at the Mobile Library.
From senior care homes to community events, we bring the Library to you!
Apply online to schedule a Mobile Library visit in your neighborhood or at your community event.
Please expect a response within 5 business days. Note: We cannot guarantee all requests.
Bookmobiles are the size of a city bus and require appropriate parking accommodations.

Book Bike
The Queens Public Library Book Bike is a delightful new addition to our outreach services.
In a city as urban as New York, there are places where our Bookmobile simply cannot fit.
This is where our Book Bike comes in, bringing books, information, and a sense of fun to community events ranging from farmers’ markets to the Queens Pride Parade!
