Sažetak
This papers shows the work of Koprivnica-Križevci bibliobus mobile library services thoughout its 25 year-long history. The author has shown a brief summary of such services in other countries, as well as elsewhere in Rep.of Croatia, with accompanying legislation that regulates these mobile libraries on wheels. Originally, it was intended to roam the streets of Koprivnica, stopping at certain bus stations and visiting factories and companies with a large number of employees, as well as suburban places on the outskirts of town. Koprivnica bibliobus had started its library-on-wheels tour in 1979, when it was one of the very first in Croatia, attracting outstanding interest from potential readers. Throughout the years to follow, despite numerous technical obstacles, it successfully played its role in bringing books to readers, helping a great deal in providing culture and information to those in need in areas it covered. In 1995, Koprivnica’s town library “Fran Galović” became the main library for the whole Koprivnica-Križevci county. Following the library’s new plans to increase the number of existing libraries, the bibliobus service was given an important role in linking library network in this county. The plans to further expand bibliobus stops, as well as the quality improvement of this service, would not have been possible without a new vehicle. The efforts to find funding and to purchase a new bibliobus finally paid off. In early 2004, thanks to numerous events and actions by the Ministry of culture, the local governments of Koprivnica-Križevci county and the town of Koprivnica, the library “Fran Galović” finally got its brand new bibliobus vehicle.
