Did you know that in the early 1900's, Monterey County's first librarian, Anne Hadden, traveled on a donkey in order to deliver library books to people in remote areas of Monterey County? 

In other parts of the world, librarians transport reading materials to people on boats, camels, elephants and even wheelbarrows!

Aren't we lucky to have easy access to so many books etc. at Monterey Public Library and Bookmobile?

To learn more about these "bookmobiles", you may want to check out, "My Librarian Is A Camel" by Margaret Ruurs.
