In April 2021, several public schools were downsizing or closing their libraries We saved the discarded books and shelves from being thrown into the landfill. Once the books were boxed, the question of what to do with them arose.
The idea for myLibrary bookmobile emerged. .

Over 8000 donated books are housed in the myLibrary warehouse. The warehouse is an out building on our ranch in southern Colorado. It is the staging area for books that are put onto the bookmobile.

And Now
Saved from the Landfill
And Now
On August 9, 2025, myLibrary participated in the Rye Town Square Fair in Rye, Colorado. We were able to give away hundreds of free books to attendees.
Book donations make it possible for myLibrary to continue to give away books to summer school students, low income families, seniors, community members, recovery centers and prisons.
Our mission and first priority is to
provide literary exposure to rural Southern Colorado residents who lack access to public libraries due to physical, economic, social or geographic circumstances.
The ability to give away books is an added bonus.
