The document discusses mobile libraries and their role in communities. It provides links to websites and summaries of conferences about how mobile libraries can better serve citizens. The key points are that mobile libraries aim to be accessible, periodic in their visits, engage citizens through intimacy and friendship, and see their staff as the most important resource. Partnerships with other organizations and using social media are seen as ways to optimize resources and expand their reach to citizens.
