Mobile libraries: Our service for small communities
Seven mobile libraries cover all parts of the county not served by branch libraries and offer a very personal service
Our modern spacious vehicles carry a wide range of adult and children’s books, large print and talking books. All books are issued for four weeks
Mobile libraries usually call either weekly or fortnightly although there are some stops which serve sheltered housing complexes and these are usually visited monthly. The duration of a stop can be up to half a day depending on how busy it is
All mobile libraries have a computer issuing system which means you can use your library card at any mobile or branch library. Books and other items can be requested online and picked up from the mobile library. In addition books from the mobile library can be returned to any library. Conversely books borrowed from a branch library can be returned to a mobile if it is more convenient
To use a public mobile library bring your library card when visiting your nearest stop. You can join online or on the mobile if you bring some proof of address
