The @UHVictoria traveling bookmobile is wrapped. Next steps will be refurbishing the inside of the bus, adding shelving, and installing furniture. Upon completion, the bookmobile will serve low-income neighborhoods near the university. #AwesomeUpdate

We've crowdfunded over $5,000 to help out our fellow library workers who are affected by this crisis with $250 living grants.
Can you help us reach $10,000 so we can support even more library workers?
