Review of mobile library routes

The mobile route review is a routine event and looks at the routes and stops, not the service itself. There will not be a reduction in the number of mobiles, the number of mobile staff or the time mobiles spend out on the road.

In order for a mobile library stop to be viable it should attract an average of four customers on a regular basis. Where a stop has consistently failed to meet this target over a 12 month period, we propose to discontinue the stop to allow for busier stops to be extended or new ones created where demand exists.
Should a stop be moved within a village or discontinued any remaining customers who are unable to travel to another mobile stop or static branch can apply for the Home Library Service.

To find out more about the proposals for your area, or if you are unsure which mobile visits your community please look at the A-Z list of library stops 58kb .

Proposed new mobile library schedules

The consultation period ends on Friday 11 May 2012.
