Dave:
Yes, we know how to buy a bus- and we also know how to build bookmobiles. Heard about your grant yesterday on Morning Edition on NPR. Congratulations!
Contact us, I’ll try to help you.

Awesome! I know this is different, but I remember checking out library books from a bookmobile as a child. It came down our street each week or two and one could check out and return books. Does this concept still exist in some places?

Was there myself earlier this week and quite enjoyed it. But they’re still getting schooled by LSOS in the Awesome Use of Funds department.

Malaprops is one of my favorite bookstores in the world. Despite their location — not near a major city or large airport — it seems as though every major author puts them on their tour lists. They’re one of the best things about Asheville, which has a lot of things to brag about.

Actually, we visited Malaprops for the first time on a trip to Asheville in October and it is an awesome, awesome bookstore. Proud to say we dropped quite a bit of coin there. Glad they’re benefitting alongside our own beloved LSOS.
