The mission of Bookmobile is making sure that all children, regardless of their ages, have an opportunity to access and engage with books. The main goal is empowering children by improving their literacy levels and instilling reading happiness in them. The Bookmobile continues to evolve, working towards the mission, which is to ensure that the entire services and the books are free, with no hidden fee. No library card is needed to receive books from the Bookmobile, and it also strengthens our kids by providing access to information, education, culture, and recreation.

The vision of the program is designed to promote community-based summer literacy by offering books to Manchester children of any age. This effort will help children avoid the "summer slide," which is a decline in reading ability. That happens over the summer months when children may not be engaged in regular reading. Any child who attends a session will go home with a free book and snack.

The Bookmobile is staffed by librarians from Manchester City Library, educators from the Manchester School District, and community members passionate about sharing a love of reading and books with children of all ages.
