Every Little Bit

Jimmy Riordan, Alaska Bookmobile | Every Little Bit

Season 1 Episode 5 | 2m 10s

The Alaska Bookmobile is a free library and mobile venue that supports community events all over the city. When Jimmy Riordan purchased a retired bookmobile to drive it to Anchorage, he realized that it could be more than just a way back home. At each stop, people would tell him stories of their hometown bookmobiles or just leave book donations, so he decided to keep it a library on wheels.
