Mobile libraries

Photo of a mobile library Our fleet of 11 mobile libraries visits nearly every village and hamlet in the county, making over 600 stops on a weekly, or fortnightly, basis. The time at each stop can vary between 10 minutes and three hours; the length of the stop depending on the size of the community and number of customers that use the services of our Mobiles.

All 11 mobile libraries have lift access.

Most mobile libraries carry a stock of over 1800 books and audio items and the selection is constantly changing. Community information is also available on board and the staff are happy to provide access to the wider network of Libraries & Archives through reservations for particular items and requests for information.

For a full A-Z listing of mobile library stopping places and times check out our search facility. A large proportion of stops are only visited on a fortnightly basis. Use the week number in the 'stop frequency' column in conjunction with the 'Which week?' schedule to find out the dates for your stop.
