Mary Lemist Titcomb was an extraordinary woman who pursued her dreams and never gave up. She became a librarian to enlighten others with the joy of reading, and when the rural folk could not get to library, she went to them. She designed the first bookmobile in the United States, pulled by horses. This book, written for children, is nevertheless a delight for young and old alike. Filled with wonderful pictures of bookmobiles that illustrate the development of the vehicles through the years, it tells the story of Miss Titcomb, and her courage to strive for what she believed. The book is well written, easily understood by young children, and quite informative. ( )

What's not to love? Great old photos too. ( )

Great story, easy to read and understand ( )

Cool book on an unusual topic. Required plenty of research; none of the books in the bibliography would be easily available or light reading. Many excellent black and white photographs illustrate the book. Really fascinating. ( )
