Mobile Library Service
Our Mobile Library Service brings vital library resources (as well as a collection of great books!) to residents of the Shire's southern suburbs each week.
Residents can preselect the latest titles and collect them from the mobile service or select from resources onboard the mobile service.
There is also opportunity to access print/scan and copy and internet services.
More information on the service can be found below. We look forward to seeing you on the road!
