Jonetta Rose Barras: A Jobsmobile in D.C.?

As a young girl, I remember each week during the summer the huge van parked at the end of the block where my grandparents lived. When I first entered it, I was awestruck by the rows of books. The bookmobile developed and satisfied my voracious appetite for literature.

D.C. Councilman Michael Brown had a similar positive experience growing up in Washington. That’s the reason he has been pushing a Bookmobile concept to get services to unemployed young people in the District.
