Wicomico County, MD — Maryland Board of Public Works has approved a $100,000 grant to support the purchase of a new library bookmobile for Wicomico County, marking a significant investment in expanding
access to educational resources across the community.
The funding, administered through the Department of General Services, will allow Wicomico County to move forward with acquiring a modern, fully equipped bookmobile designed to bring library services directly to
residents—particularly in rural and underserved areas.
“This is a tremendous win for Wicomico County,” said County Executive Julie Giordano. “A new bookmobile means greater access to books, technology, and educational programming for residents who may not otherwise be able to visit a physical library branch. We are grateful to the Board of Public Works for
recognizing the importance of this investment in our community.”
The new bookmobile will serve as a mobile extension of the county’s library system, offering books, digital resources, and community programming while helping bridge gaps in access to information and services. It will also support outreach efforts to schools, senior communities, and neighborhoods throughout the county.
This grant reflects the State’s continued commitment to supporting local infrastructure and educational initiatives that improve quality of life and opportunity for Maryland residents.
More details on the timeline for procurement and deployment of the new bookmobile will be announced in the coming months.
Is the burn ban still on in Wicomico county ?
What the hell does that have to do with the Bookmobile??
Nothing 7:42, I just want to burn trash in a barrel.
what a waste of taxpayer money! instead of running a feel good story, how about producing the numbers of citizens who actually stepped into the van and used the services provided or borrowed a book? I call BS!
