The  '''MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE''' project is a community arts initiative founded by the Bookmobile collective, a diverse group of emerging North American artists and community activists. Their mandate is to fuse artistic production with political activism and [community organizing](/source/community_organizing). The collective consists of a fluctuating group of dedicated volunteers, coordinators, jury organizers, and tour guides. Although the project is based primarily in [Montreal](/source/Montreal), QC, and [Philadelphia](/source/Philadelphia), PA, collective members reside in various cities throughout North America.

The MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE project explores the long-held tradition of [bookmobile](/source/bookmobile)s as traveling libraries in order to promote the distribution of information. Since 2000, the project has been selectively collecting and organizing artist's books (that range from handmade and one-of-a-kind pieces, to [zine](/source/zine)s, photocopied works, and other independent publications) on an annual basis. Members of the collective present these works to the public in a series of traveling exhibitions that are held throughout the [United States](/source/United_States) and [Canada](/source/Canada) with the help of a vintage [Airstream](/source/Airstream) trailer. The [artist collective](/source/artist_collective) also organizes workshops and participates in educational activities on a community level during these tours. 

Each touring collection consists of about 300 items. In 2005, the collective donated its 2000-2005 collections  to [Artexte Information Centre](/source/Artexte_Information_Centre). This [not-for-profit](/source/not-for-profit) arts organization maintains the collections and provides on-site access to them. Artexte also provides further access to these collections with an electronic guide to individual works, organized by touring year: Projet MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE Project Guide
