The Big Bend Citizens Alliance (BBCA) has announced an open call for proposals from independent contractors interested in managing and promoting the upcoming Big Bend Mobile Library. This initiative aims to extend library services throughout south Brewster County, with a home base located at Canyon View Community Park in Study Butte.
Contractors will be responsible for a variety of tasks essential to the successful launch and operation of the Mobile Library (ML). Key responsibilities include creating and maintaining a regular schedule of locations and hours, advertising these details through local outlets such as the Terlingua Moon and the Big Bend Public Library’s Facebook page, and coordinating with drivers and location managers for the setup and removal of the ML.
The project also involves organizing and supervising volunteers during open hours, monitoring and responding to community inquiries via email and phone, and providing regular reports to the BBCA board of directors and members.
“The Mobile Library is a vital project for increasing access to library services in the remote areas of Brewster County,” said Tonia MacComb, Treasurer of the BBCA. “We are excited to see how this initiative will grow and serve our community.”
Proposals will be accepted until November 18, 2024. Those interested in contributing to this community-enhancing project can find more details, including the full Request for Proposals, by emailing bookkeeper.bbca@gmail.com, visiting the BBCA website at www.BigBendCitizensAlliance.org, or calling Tonia MacComb at 281-389-0798.
