Library begins bookmobile procurement as part of FY26‑27 goals
Summary
City Librarian Kristen Olivera told council the library is pursuing a bookmobile, has begun conversations with a chassis vendor and plans to expand mobile outreach and space redesigns next year.
Monterey Park’s library department outlined goals for the coming year that include a bookmobile and interior space redesigns to create more accessible programming space. "We are working on the bookmobile. We have initiated conversations with Camino Real, to acquire the cabin chassis, which is a starting point for us," City Librarian Kristen Olivera said.
Staff said the bookmobile procurement is underway as part of a broader effort to redesign library circulation and programming spaces, add an accessible first‑floor programming room, and relocate passport services to improve customer access. The library’s proposed FY26‑27 budget includes funding requests to support those projects and outreach.
