Write a commentOswego Bookmobile will be Driving Books Home to Oswego neighborhoods this summer for our eleventh season beginning on Monday, July 5th and running through Friday, August 20th.
The summer reading theme for 2021 is Tails & Tales. Each week will have a theme organized around a weekly book choice. The weekly themes this summer are as folows:
- Week 1: The Better to Read You My Dear
- Week 2: Fur, Feathers, and Scales “Oh My!”
- Week 3: Hopping Into a Great Tale
- Week 4: In an Ocean Far, Far Away
- Week 5: Read, Connect, Protect
- Week 6: Man’s Best Friend
- Week 7: There’s No Place Like Home
Children and youth up to age 18 are invited to visit the bookmobile once a week at any of the scheduled stops and select a free book, healthy snack, and a “grab and go” STEAM activity bag.
With the support of a Youth Development Program grant from Oswego City County Youth Bureau, Oswego Bookmobile is able to provide STEAM “grab and go” bags with activities for the whole family.
Our stops for the 2021 season will be:
Mondays
- 9am-11am Charles E Riley Elementary School

The staff and volunteers of Oswego Bookmobile are so excited to see all the participants at the stops this year. You will find books to interest all ages and reading levels from “read to me” to “ I can read it myself!”
Oswego Bookmobile thanks our community partners; Oswego City School District, Oswego Public Library, and SUNY Oswego, for their in-kind support, and our community donors for the financial support so critical to keeping the Driving Books Home-Oswego Bookmobile program rolling into Oswego neighborhoods when school is out.
