MEET OVIE! "Ovie" or White Pigeon Township Library's "Outreach Vehicle", is on the road NOW! Our truck and trailer combo is a fully functioning mobile library, with books, movies, STEM kits, and more available for checkout. We also have full mobile hotspot abilities, so you can access the internet, print, and make copies! Currently, we have multiple stops a month, and our monthly calendar is always current in our Newsletter, though we are consistently adding more stops as we make our way through the community. If you have a request for a specific book, let us know! We'll make sure to have it for you at your stop. 

Follow along the images below for a look into how OVIE came to be, including past press releases, a highlight on our sponsors, our monthly schedule, and more! Remember, our bookmobile is only possible because of our wonderful community support!

Check out our awesome shelving! We have something for everyone!
Shelves filled with numerous books arranged vertically and horizontally, with book titles visible on the spines.
Interesting facts: the slanted shelving and blue fabric bumpers make sure the books don't move around while we're driving to our stops.

When school is in session, we have a stop at White Pigeon Community Schools, where kids can have storytime and check out books!

The back of OVIE opens up at our stops, allowing for wheelchair accessibility and for patrons who might find the side door difficult. It also makes for a fun indoor-outdoor library feel at our summer stops, and we like to set out fun games, like cornhole, to play!
