The Bookmobile is a state of the art mobile library branch that brings library services to patrons in rural or underserved communities within the Tamarack District Library.
The bookmobile travels throughout Montcalm and Mecosta County and provides full library services and programs to those that might not be able to get to the main branch as often. The bookmobile allows us to provide the same high-quality services and resources you expect from the TDL building including the ability to ask reference questions, request materials and apply for a library card without having to leave your neighborhood.
Look for the bookmobile at township halls, parks, schools, churches and events. We look forward to bringing the library to your neighborhood!
Outreach Services
We love being out in the community! Through our Outreach program, Tamarack District Library partners with local organizations, schools, and community groups to bring the library experience to you.
You might see us at local festivals, special events, or community programs, offering fun activities for all ages — including storytimes, crafts, library card sign-ups, tech help, and more.
If your group or event would like to partner with us, we’d be happy to join the fun!
