AUDIT OF THE INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL IMAGE INCLUDING
PRINTED MATERIALS, SIGNS,
CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND
COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS.

it been washed recently. Is
there a cleaning schedule?

attractive? How do you
position the bookmobile?
Are the images on the
bookmobile in good
condition? Are they large
enough? Do they need
repainting?
Is the bookmobile
entrance clearly marked?
Where are other
directional signs to the
bookmobile located in the
community or at parking
locations?
Are the directions well
marked and easy to
understand?
INSIDE OF BOOKMOBILE
What does someone see when
they first enter the bookmobile?
Is everything well marked with
signs? Is it cluttered or neat?
Is there a place such as a bulletin
board to post special
information? Is it attractively
displayed? Is everything current?
Is it regularly cleaned?
Are the hours of operation and
locations posted clearly?
Are all areas of the bookmobile
kept neat with books,
magazines, and other materials
shelved or attractively arranged.
Are the floors or carpet cleaned
frequently?
Are trash containers provided in
the bookmobile?
