QPL's Mobile Library program brings library service to neighborhoods all across our borough!
Our Mobile Libraries (Bookmobiles) contain books, movies, magazines, free access to Wi-Fi, and much more.
We can also help you sign up for a library card at the Mobile Library.
Introducing Our New Mobile Library!
The new 32-foot-long QPL Mobile Library is equipped with an automatic wheelchair lift, solar power technology, and two Wi-Fi-enabled TV screens.
It also has 12 laptops, a printer, Wi-Fi access, a self-checkout machine, gaming systems, and a collection of 5,000 books and other materials for people of all ages.

Our new Mobile Library provides weekly service to Breezy Point, every Wednesday from 10am-5pm, offering access to library materials and services, plus storytimes, STEM activities, movie screenings, arts and crafts workshops, and more.
The QPL Bookbike
The QPL Bookbike in action during its 2024 Summer Tour.
The Queens Public Library Bookbike is a delightful part of our outreach services.
In a city as urban as New York, there are places where a Bookmobile simply cannot fit.
This is where our Bookbike comes in, bringing books, information, library card sign-ups, and a sense of fun to our Queens communities!
Disaster Relief
When disaster strikes, our Mobile Libraries really rev up and become a lifeline for our communities.
During a hurricane or other natural disaster, the Mobile Library provides access to essential services and information, including:
- Free Wi-Fi and charging stations
- First-aid supplies
- Health brochures and other resource publications
- Emergency FEMA applications
- Friendly, familiar faces and general moral support
