Massillon, Ohio Holiday Parade


This is the Massillon Public Library bookmobile from Massillon, Ohio in our holiday parade November 17. The scrolling sign read "Your library...a gift all year". Each sign hanging from the garland listed a library service. Decorating was simplified because we had OBS install stainless steel hooks at intervals on the sides of the bus.

A community fixture since the 1960s, the bookmobiles have not changed much in form and function. The big white vans make stops around town to check library materials in and out.
