I live in St. Johns County, FL and I took a virtual field trip to see the local library's web page. (I also went to my local branch of the public library and will explain my findings in another blog posting.) Below is a summary of the information I found most helpful as a resident and as an educator.
Books by Mail

Bookmobile
There are two bookmobiles called
the LEO Express and the Bluebird Express. Both transport books
to various places around the county “to residents in nursing homes, assisted
living facilities, medical centers, schools, daycares, afterschool centers, and
parks and recreation centers.” County residents can request a bookmobile
stop by filling out the application which is provided on the website.

heroes are remembered and honored.
