The "Li-Berry Lady" is Here!

Terry Jones, BookMobile driver for the County Library shares her adventures on Novato Public TV at 9:30 am Saturday

Terry Jones is lovingly known in our community as the “Li-Berry Lady.”  The kids and families yell, “Here she comes!  The Li-Berry Lady is here!” as she drives around Marin County with the Library BookMobile. 

Her formal title is Community Library Specialist, Mobile Library Services, and she has been driving the rural roads of Marin County for several years.  In addition to driving out to rural schools, Terry also provides a story time at the Farmers Market in San Rafael.  She distributes books to remote ranch kids, especially during the summer months when they do not have access to her regular visits to the schools. 

The Marin County Library Services will be replacing her rather tired BookMobile with a new vehicle in a few months.  Although she is looking forward the new shiny vehicle, she has loads of good memories of the old faithful BookMobile.  Terry was fun to interview, as she shared her touching stories of her adventures on the road.
