Motivation

[edit]

Reading the 1920 Americana article on "Traveling Libraries" brought to mind my own experience some years ago with a "traveling library" of video tapes, a collection of titles which came to my library periodically and then was replaced by another after a couple months or so. It provided for more variety. This has disappeared in my library in recent years. So I am using a rather dated source to write an article on this subject to emphasize there is more there, or at least was more there, than just the bookmobile.

Another type

[edit]

There is another type of traveling library, a small portable bookcase used by an individual such as this:

Mrs Batowska's travelling library

Another example:
A book from Sir Julius Caesar's travelling library

There are numerous images on Commons from this travelling library.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 17:01, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
