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.

The QPL Bookbike

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
