Born in 1852, Mary Titcomb had a strong desire for an education & career.
Mary became a librarian & making #books accessible to everyone was a priority. She came up with a children’s room & set up “book stations” in shops & post offices in town.
But Mary noticed people from rural areas weren’t visiting the #library. So, she secured funding to build & begin the nation’s first bookmobile.

I remember when Detroit Michigan had Bookmobiles visiting various neighborhoods. I think it was in the 70's.
