Western Plains Library System is excited to continue its long history of exemplary service across western Oklahoma with a fresh look through a new bookmobile. The new vehicle will see its first day of service on April 6, 2026 and will pay a visit to 32 locations across the WPLS service area along its regular route.
The new vehicle will continue to serve rural communities, schools and nursing homes across Custer, Dewey, Roger Mills, and Washita Counties bringing WPLS’ large host of resources including physical books and movies to customers. In addition to its current schedule, the bookmobile’s route will also be extended to include new communities and schools in order to serve as many people across the service area as possible.
The new bookmobile is the sixth vehicle of its kind purchased by WPLS and is a 2024 Farber M2. It was custom designed and produced by Farber Specialty Vehicles in Columbus, OH. to serve the unique needs of the WPLS service area. The vehicle is 22 feet long and 12 feet and 6 inches tall.
Over the course of the vehicle’s two-week revolving schedule, it will travel an estimated 1,540 miles with stops in Leedey, Vici, Camargo, Rocky, Dill City, Burns Flat, Taloga, Putnam, Corn, Colony, and Reydon. A full schedule of bookmobile stops can be found at wplibs. com.
