Kern County Library

A Legacy of Mobile Library Services in Kern County

Kern County Library Bookmobile has a long history of bringing essential library services to communities with limited access to physical branches. Since its early days, the Bookmobile has served as a lifeline for rural and underserved areas, allowing residents to borrow books, participate in educational programs, and stay connected to the library system. The return of the Bookmobile marks a new chapter in this tradition, ensuring that literacy, learning, and library services remain accessible to all.

Expanding Library Services with Measure K

Thanks to funding from Measure K, Kern County’s Unincorporated Public Safety, Vital Services, and Local Control Measure, the Library Department is able to provide additional materials, programs, technology, and staff reinforcing the library’s commitment to prioritizing literacy and creative learning opportunities for all ages.

The Bookmobile will carry a variety of books for all ages, provide free Wi-Fi, and allow patrons to check out and return materials. Visitors can also sign up for a library card on-site.
