Not everyone has easy access to a local library, but with Expandable’s mobile library, books, technology, and learning opportunities can travel directly to the people who need them most. Whether you're serving students in rural Texas, bringing literacy programs to underserved neighborhoods in Chicago, or setting up a pop-up library at a festival in California, our expandable library trailers provide a versatile, cost-effective solution for education and outreach.
Designed for schools, public libraries, literacy programs, and cultural events, a mobile library ensures that everyone, from kids in small towns to seniors in retirement communities, has access to books, internet, and learning resources.
Spacious, comfortable, and ADA-friendly
A mobile library should be inviting, easy to access, and comfortable for all visitors. Expandable’s library trailers are available in 32m², 42m², or 60², providing ample space for bookshelves, reading nooks, and interactive learning areas.
The low step-in height and optional ADA-compliant wheelchair ramps ensure easy access for visitors of all ages and abilities. Hydraulic leveling legs provide stability on any surface, so whether you’re parked at a school in Denver, a community center in Atlanta, or a book fair in New York City, your mobile library remains secure and level.
Large panoramic windows and LED lighting create a bright, engaging atmosphere, making reading and learning enjoyable for all.
Fast setup, instant library experience
Unlike a traditional library, which requires a fixed location and major funding, a mobile library offers fast, cost-effective access to books, technology, and literacy programs anywhere in the country.
Once on-site, the trailer expands within 15 minutes, nearly doubling in size to create a welcoming space for visitors. Inside, you can set up bookshelves, digital learning stations, touchscreen kiosks, and cozy reading corners. Whether you’re running an after-school program in Houston, a literacy outreach event in Detroit, or a pop-up library at Comic-Con in San Diego, a mobile library trailer ensures that education and books are available wherever they’re needed.
Built for the road, designed for heavy use
A mobile library needs to be durable, secure, and built for frequent travel. Expandable’s trailers are made with high-quality, American-engineered materials, ensuring they hold up to long-distance transport and daily use. The compact design makes towing easy on highways, city streets, and rural roads, while the expandable structure maximizes interior space once set up. Hydraulic stabilization ensures bookshelves and workstations remain secure, no matter where you park. For public libraries and nonprofit organizations, custom branding options allow you to proudly display your city, school district, or foundation’s name, making your mobile library a recognizable and trusted resource wherever it goes.
Why choose an Expandable mobile library?
A mobile library is an innovative, budget-friendly way to promote literacy and learning. Instead of requiring people to find a library, the library comes to them. Schools can expand their reading programs, rural communities can access educational resources, and large-scale events can offer a dedicated space for book lovers.
While a traditional library is locked to one location, a mobile library trailer can serve multiple areas, easily adapting to changing community needs. This makes it an ideal solution for school districts, city libraries, literacy nonprofits, bookmobiles, and nationwide education initiatives.
Customize your mobile library
No two mobile libraries are the same. Using our online configurator, you can design the perfect layout, choose the best entry points, add exterior branding, and optimize the interior for books, technology, and community reading spaces. The trailer is delivered as a customized foundation, allowing you to install shelving, seating, and digital resources yourself to fit your program’s specific needs.
