Eight years ago, Basileios and I traveled with our good friends to Libertyville, IL, for the glorification feast of Saint Mardarije of Libertyville.

On the way there, our friend Rajko said, "With all the Potamitis' books in here, this is not just an automobile—it's 'The Orthodox Bookmobile!'" And this is how the Orthodox Bookmobile was born, on the road between two Orthodox Monasteries: Saint John Chrysostom's in Kenosha, MI, and Saint Sava's in Libertyville, IL.

Since then, and up until the global lockdown, we used Father Christos Christakis and his Presbytera's van for every tour. After the lockdown, Basileios and I roamed the country in a vehicle provided by God's Grace and Providence every summer. Again this summer, the Orthodox Bookmobile is hitting the road, and we are crossing the Missouri-Kansas state line to head to the West Coast.

Are you and your parish located anywhere in Continental North America and north of the border with Mexico? Does your parish have families with children? If so, would you like to explore our extensive collection of over 222 books for Orthodox children? Send an email to dionysios@potamitis.us.

P.S. No parish/monastery/Orthodox bookstore is too small or too far off the Interstate for us to visit!
