FAQ
What is the Bookmobile?
The Bookmobile is a mobile library service from the Iowa City Public Library (ICPL). In addition to a collection of new and popular books and DVDs on the Bookmobile, you can check out anything from ICPL’s collection by placing a hold and requesting pickup at the Bookmobile.
Can I pick up holds and ILLs at the Bookmobile?
Anyone with an ICPL library card can check out materials at the Iowa City Public Library Bookmobile. When you ask for a hold or Interlibrary Loan let us know you'd like to pick it up at the Bookmobile.
How do I pick up my holds from the Bookmobile?
Let us know your name when you arrive. We’ll check out your items and set them on the table outside the Bookmobile for contactless pickup or you can come inside and browse before you check them out.
Can I pick up holds for someone else?
Yes! Please bring their library card with you. Also, when placing the hold, choose the Bookmobile as the pickup location.
Can I go onto the Bookmobile?
Yes, up to 5 people can be on the Bookmobile for 5 minutes for browsing and checkout. This allows for safer access for you and staff.
I miss browsing on the Bookmobile. How can I get books when I don’t know what to check out?
We have a new service: Staff Picks…Just for You! Fill out the online questionnaire and our experts on staff will surprise you with great finds. You can request a book bundle for Bookmobile pickup, or you can ask for a list of recommendations and place the holds yourself.
Do I have to wear a mask?
Yes. Face masks and maintaining social distance will be required when in line or near the Bookmobile. We will provide a mask if you don’t have one.
What safety precautions are staff taking?
While browsing has returned, our Bookmobile pickup service is designed to be contact-free with staff placing items on the pickup table outside. Hand sanitizer and masks will be available, and staff have surface cleaners on hand.
How do I get a library card?
You can register for a library card online.
How do I return books?
You can return your books at any of the Bookmobile’s weekly stops, at any of our remote bookdrops, or downtown at the Iowa City Public Library.
Where do I find schedule updates?
Bookmobile service will occasionally be interrupted by holidays and inclement weather. For the most up-to-date information, look at our daily schedule on this web page.
