What is a mobile outreach vehicle?

The Los Angeles Public Library has three mobile outreach vehicles. These are multifunctional vehicles that serve to showcase library services to a wide audience. The vehicles allow for demonstrations of the online library catalog, database research, and e-media services. The mobile outreach vehicles are not bookmobiles.


Where do you go?

The Outreach Team attends community events and visits organizations within the City of Los Angeles. We also partner with other City departments. Most events we attend are free and open to the public.


How do you decide which events to attend?

In addition to our guidelines for attending community events, we must consider the vehicle's dimensions before deciding whether a Street Fleet vehicle can attend.

Length: 23 ft. (29 ft. with lift open) 
Width: 9 ft. (15 ft. with awning open) 
Height: 10 ft.


How can I request the Community Outreach Team for my event?

Please use this form to request outreach services for your event or organization.


What library services do you offer?

  • answering reference questions

  • crafts and activities

Can I check out books from the vehicle?
