St. Joseph’s Bookmobile
Books, Stories and Smiles: The St. Joseph’s Bookmobile is Back 2026
During the summer months, St. Joseph’s bookmobile travels to communities across South Dakota, providing free books and reading materials for readers of all ages and interests. For the sixth consecutive year, the bookmobile will also feature Native American books written by Native American authors, with one book available for every visitor — young or old — who stops by.
In addition to sharing the joy of reading this summer, Alumni Relations staff members Andy Lepkowski, Krista Lepkowski and Mike Pooley are looking forward to reconnecting with anyone who attended St. Joseph’s Indian School. Other volunteers will also be joining them on their journey. Check out the schedule below to see when they will be in your area. Please note that all times listed are local to each stop.
