Computers: Two staff computers allow access to the library's circulation system for the checking in and out of materials. The staff is also able to search the Rochester Hills Public Library's catalog of materials and Research Databases. The vehicle has the capability of adding additional patron computer stations in the future.

Schedule: The bookmobile provides library service to people in Rochester, Rochester Hills, and Oakland Township who are underserved due to physical, economic, social, geographic or other barriers. The length of each bookmobile stop is one hour with adequate time for driving between stops built into the weekly schedule. For more information on the bookmobile schedule you can call 248-650-7150.

Services: Bookmobile patrons receive the same friendly service they have come to expect at the Main Library including the ability to ask reference questions, request materials and apply for and receive a library card.
