The overall mission of Siouxland Libraries is “connecting you to a world of ideas and information to enrich your life.” Popular non-fiction books among children distributed by the bookmobile range from topics including sports to animals. “Preschool children like the Llama Llama series by Anna Dewdney ,” said Bents. “They love humor and love it when the book makes them laugh.” Graphic novels are frequently checked out by school-aged children, and the bookmobile makes it a priority to offer well- liked materials. “The Dav Pilkey Dog Man series is a favorite,” added Bents. “For chapter books, The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney remains popular.” With over 500 stops, the bookmobile saw over 10,000 people in 2024. “Serving people is definitely the best part of the job,” continued Bents. “We love meeting new people and seeing familiar faces. It is a pleasure to serve our communities.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT SIOUXLANDLIB.ORG+
