ASHLAND LIBRARY TOUCH A TRUCK IS BACK IN 2022

Ashland Public Library’s annual end-of-summer-reading event, Touch-A-Truck is back!
The library will be hosting an abundance of vehicles throughout the municipal city
parking lot next door on August 6, 2022 from 10am to 1pm with a designated quiet hour
10am to 11am.
This fun and interactive event is for the whole family. Kids of all ages are invited to climb
on, sit behind the wheel of, and explore a variety of fantastic vehicles, all from local
businesses and organizations. Plus get the inside scoop on what it’s like to operate
them from the drivers!
Many local organizations are donating their time to exhibit their vehicles during the
event, including some old friends from previous Touch-A-Truck events as well as a few
new friends. Several different police vehicles, construction vehicles, a school bus, a fire
truck, and so much more.
The Friends of the Ashland Public Library will be making an appearance this year with
their Public Book Sale running from 11am-4pm inside the library. There visitors can find
books, audiobooks, DVDs, and CDs available for purchase. The Friends will also have a
special giveaway for children.
The event would not be complete without the library’s own Bookmobile and Outreach
vehicles, which are used throughout the Ashland at community stops, lobby stops,
outdoor programs, and community events.
While you’re there don’t forget to hop aboard the Bookmobile where you can browse
library materials, check out items, and collect any final Summer Reading rewards.
Visitors to the library vehicles can also participate in a fun Touch A Truck themed
activity to earn a small reward.
