Library to Go

The Next Generation of Library Service

Library to Go is Catawba County’s new mobile library – a state-of-the-art traveling exploration station that moves beyond the library's walls and meets children and adults throughout our community, expanding access to empowering resources and programs in the areas that need them the most.

When we arrive for a visit, we’ll unload and set up bookshelves, work tables, technologies, lounging spaces, and play and learning areas – creating a temporary, ever-changing library space designed for interactive learning and exploration. People will be able to enjoy traditional library resources like books and computer access, and they’ll also be able to participate in special programs, often in an open-air environment. Plus, visitors can sign up for a library card and check out materials from the Library to Go.

Library to Go has:

  • Books for all ages
  • Playaway audio and book kits
  • WiFi hotspots, laptops, and iPads, which can be used for computer workshops; downloading free Libby and Hoopla ebooks, audio, music, and movies; Internet access; and more
  • Robotics and virtual reality devices and programs
  • Furniture for lounging and exploring resources
  • 3-D printing

We’re excited about bringing the power of the library to meet people where they are. We’ll share our schedule of visits so you can be sure to seek us out, check us out, and learn how the library is actively transforming our community. So whenever you see us out and about, drop by and see what we’re up to – the library is for everyone, especially you!
