What’s a better tool to say that books can transfer you in no time to universes you’ve never been before? A bookmobile, of course. What’s more punk than a bookmobile? A steampunk bookmobile!

In the days before a branch of the public library was built in Coney Island, residents relied on weekly visits to the bookmobile. The library-on-wheels made this stop at the Gravesend Houses every Tuesday from 10:00 to 11:50 during the 1950s, and these kindergartners from P.S. 188 were there.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A mobile book truck is on a mission to bring books to every corner of the community.
Foxing Books made a stop in the NuLu district Sunday.
The company said their mobile, pop-up bookstore travels around Louisville to flea markets, coffee shops, bars and more.
They hope is to provide a neighborhood bookstore for the entire community and say they want to give everyone an opportunity to build a love for literature.
“We wanted to be in places where people didn’t necessarily have a bookstore on their corner,” owner Kelly Nusz said. “I mean, I don't have time to read every single book, but I have time to read a lot of them and getting recommendations from other people. And you know, just getting to share books with other people is the best thing that I can think to do.”
