Motivation
Reading the 1920 Americana article on "Traveling Libraries" brought to mind my own experience some years ago with a "traveling library" of video tapes, a collection of titles which came to my library periodically and then was replaced by another after a couple months or so. It provided for more variety. This has disappeared in my library in recent years. So I am using a rather dated source to write an article on this subject to emphasize there is more there, or at least was more there, than just the bookmobile.

Another type
There is another type of traveling library, a small portable bookcase used by an individual such as this:
