Subject: Chatham Bookmobile Services Terminated
I must admit that I over the past 15 years I have only visited the bookmobile on a handful of occasions. I do not even know the routes and schedules. Where is that posted?
However, I will tell you that growing up in a rural coastal community, I distinctly recall that our county bookmobile came at 10 AM on Tuesdays. I was only able to take advantage of that service during the summer months while on summer vacation. However, there were at least 5 families that took advantage of this service on my street of 10 houses.
I for one think that this service should be supported and would be willing to pay a nominal fee for its use. I think it is far more useful than a sidewalk from Cole Park that goes to nothing at the county line, and maybe some of the fuel being used for the infrequently used CHAPEL HILL BUS could be rerouted to something that provided a greater benefit to more people.
Additionally, could not the same county mechanics that maintain the other county vehicles not take care of the care and maintenance on this vehicle?
What do you think?
