EDITORS COMMENTS
Step aboard the Bookwagon, a travelling library bringing the wonders of the New York Public Library to the picturesque communities of Staten Island, New York, NY, USA, during the 1910s. This mobile library was a vital link in connecting the rural areas with the vast resources of the city's renowned library system. The open shelves of the Bookwagon were filled with fresh supplies of books, eagerly awaited by the residents of these small towns. The library van would travel from one community to another, making regular stops at schools, homes, and railway stations, allowing easy access to literature for all. Children and adults alike would gather around the Bookwagon, their eyes filled with excitement as they browsed the shelves, selecting their next literary adventure. The spare tire at the back of the vehicle served as an additional shelf space, ensuring that an ample collection was always on hand. Communications between the communities and the New York Public Library were essential, and the Bookwagon played a significant role in fostering literacy and a love for reading in the outlying areas.
