Evie is Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region’s first all-electric mobile library! She delivers the library to various communities in Northern Colorado, distributing materials, resources, and services. Evie serves as a library card sign-up location and a place to check out/return materials. She also focuses on technology and offers printing, Wi-Fi hotspots, and more.

The mobile library is a Ford 350 High Roof Transit Van / Lightning ZEV3™ vehicle and measures 20 feet long and 11 feet tall. Evie is as fierce as she is sustainable, carrying up to 1,000 pounds and traveling up to 80 miles on a full charge.
Evie’s exterior design draws inspiration from award-winning author and illustrator Rafael Lopez’s mural in downtown Fort Collins. In 2011, Lopez donated the mural to Poudre Libraries in honor of our IMAGINANTES program which engages underserved youth with their community. He and IMAGINANTES participants painted the mural together and the piece stands as a testament to community, learning, and growth. The Library then donated the mural to the City of Fort Collins.
The mobile library was generously funded by Bohemian Foundation, Larimer County, the City of Fort Collins, and Poudre River Library Trust.
