Bat Mobile


We took a city bus and turned it into bookmobile! The Bat Mobile is a dreamscape where students have room to reimagine what’s possible, immerse themselves new books and create their own stories. Austin Bat Cave partnered with SOMA Small Spaces and Kuniklo Artist Collective to develop our bookmobile.

With rising housing costs and gentrification pushing families further outside of city limits, Austin Bat Cave developed The Bat Mobile to be a traveling creative space to serve students and communities in the greater Austin area, especially the more rural and widespread schools and communities.

What’s on the bus?

  • Free books for students of all ages (English and Spanish)
  • Writing cushions and desks
  • Hidden writing prompts
  • Interactive Sculptures
  • Zines and other writing by ABC students
  • Unlimited creative possibilities

Book the Bat Mobile!
