Sites considered for Children's Bookmobile service must:
- Be located within SFPL service area (City and County of San Francisco);
- Have available legal parking for 25 foot vehicle;
- Provide group care to children, including preschools, after school programs, public housing developments, and transitional housing programs;
- Not be within walking distance or easily served by branch library;
- Be willing to comply with Children’s Bookmobile policies and procedures; and,
- Have responsible adult available to coordinate Bookmobile program.
Priority will be given to sites that:
- Serve children needing early literacy support including English language learners, children at risk for low literacy achievement, or children living in low socio-economic households;
- Are publicly funded, with City programs receiving the greatest consideration;
- Serve preschool-age children, after school programs, or public housing.
- Meet other logistical considerations, such as integration into current schedule, geographic location, and number of children served.
