I am not sure how this would actually work (esp if someone didn't already have a card), but I know some cities close streets to vehicles in the summer & perhaps a mobile library - or mobile bookstore? - could be something to consider adding.

Maybe add read-aloud storytelling?

Even if could do a mini version of this on their own front lawn, I think it would attract people & would be the appetizer to the feast within.

My first library was a mobile library. My home town hasn't had library mobiles since 2012 when the budget was cut.

I have never seen a bookmobile/mobile library & I have always wanted to!

They sound brilliant, especially if you live in a rural area and/or not a lot of transportation/mobility options.

I am so sorry yours was cut. 😔
