Rochester Hills Public Library unveils new mini-bookmobile

(ROCHESTER, MI – March 3, 2023) Rochester Hills Public Library unveiled its new mini-bookmobile at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, March 2. The new vehicle replaces RHPL’s previous bookmobile, which was decommissioned due to its age and mechanical failures.

Board president Madge Lawson and board vice president Melinda Deel cut the ribbon for the official unveiling of the new vehicle. Also in attendance was library director Juliane Morian, RHPL board secretary Anne Kucher, RHPL board treasurer Bob Bonam, RHPL trustee Julianne Reyes, RHPL trustee Chuck Stouffer, Rochester Hills city council president Ryan J. Deel, Rochester Hills city council member for district 2 Carol Morlan, and Rochester Hills council member-at-large David Walker.

The new bookmobile is affectionately named BoB for Books on Board. Last year, the library held a naming contest for the new bookmobile. Patrons Vincent and Kathleen Andreassi submitted the winning name.

BoB begins service on Monday, March 6, with new locations and times. To view the bookmobile’s new schedule, visit rhpl.org or pick up a paper schedule at the library. Patrons may once again choose the bookmobile as a location from which to pick up their held library items.
