All summer, photos tagged with #stpBookmobile result in a $5 library donation from The Friends of the Saint Paul Public Library
The Friends are sharing their love of the Bookmobile and its new graphic wrap (sponsored by HealthPartners) with a special offer for everyone to make a difference for the Saint Paul Public Library: For each selfie taken with the new Bookmobile and posted to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #stpBookmobile, The Friends is donating $5 to the library, up to a total of $1,000. The campaign runs through Labor Day.
The full vehicle wrap features original artwork by Twin Cities’ illustrator Julie Van Grol. The design, coordinated by local creative agency, 5IVE, showcases the people and places of Saint Paul, reflecting a community that values lifelong learning, healthy living, and engagement with our vibrant city resources.
Sponsorship by HealthPartners supports the Bookmobile’s new look and its services to the community. The sponsorship, facilitated by The Friends, is an essential partnership between two important institutions working to strengthen and improve the future of the communities they serve.
The bookmobile will be on its regular route (visit sppl.org for locations and hours) throughout the remainder of the campaign, and making a couple special stops, as well:
- Tuesday, September 1, 9 a.m. to noon at HealthPartners’ Saint Paul Clinic, 205 South Wabasha Street.
- Friday, September 4, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at CHS Field, when the St. Paul Saints take on the Gary Southshore Railcats, 360 Broadway Street.
The Library will be giving away free souvenir Bookmobile paper hats at the Saints game, while supplies last. The Friends encourages everyone—St. Paulites and visitors alike—to participate in the fundraising promotion.
