The Call

 
Yesterday I went to the library with some first graders.  We got to go on THE BOOKMOBILE.  This is kind of neat.  Our first bookmobile started serving readers in 1929.  A gal who I think had the name of Helen rode that vehicle around town for 30 years.  The guy who drives the bookmobile now has been driving it around for 20 years.  I think driving the bookmobile might be a pretty good job. It's neat that the shelves are tilted back so the books don't drop off the shelves when the bookmobile takes a sharp turn.  It's also neat that they're making a new bookmobile in Ohio.  We'll have that bookmobile in a few months.  Our current bookmobile is 15 years old, so it's probably overdue for a replacement.  It would be neat if I could have the old bookmobile.
