Library trucks bear literary ads

June 27, 2009 - 1:24pm — Bibliofuture

If delivery trucks driving around Johnson County emblazoned with ads for peculiar businesses prompt some double-takes, they’re doing their job.

Benjamin Button’s Diaper Service?

Kafka’s Pest Control?

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’s Pharmacy?

No, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are not entering the CVS-Walgreens War.

Four literary themed trucks are part of a new ad campaign for the Johnson County Library. Officials hope the trucks will spark interest and bring even more readers to their doors.

really well done paint jobs

I wonder how much the company donated to produce that art-- it's really great stuff, "Barkley Advertising Agency, the Johnson County Library's courier trucks have been redeisgned to resemble the delivery trucks of some of literature's most famous characters. Barkley's generous pro bono designs remind us of the iconic nature of these books."

All we ever get for our library are pencils.

So, uh, are you telling me

So, uh, are you telling me the order of blubber I placed with the driver of that truck is not going to come?

Drat.
