The CALS Cruiser: Your Library on Wheels

While the Central Arkansas Library System has a significant number of branches when compared to the service size, we saw a need to fill in areas that were being missed for patrons who are not easily able to take part in the services. As we always say, “Libraries are for everyone!” So, we worked to get the CALS Cruiser up and running.

Let’s get down to the nuts-and-bolts and…books. The CALS Cruiser is a custom bookmobile designed by Farber Specialty Vehicles on a 2024 Mercedes Sprinter 26’ chassis. The Cruiser will house its own collection of books and DVDs.

Just like other CALS branches, the Cruiser will also offer library services (Wi-Fi, printing, faxing, scanning, office supplies, and notary services) and community needs (period products, hygiene kits, & snacks.) Grab & go crafts suitable for all ages are always available.
