Mobile Library (Newcastle under Library)

Providing a library and information service to villages and other communities, sheltered housing and residential homes. We work closely with internal and external partners to maintain access to a full range of library services for all residents of Staffordshire, wherever they may live. The mobile library service is delivered via a fleet of 8 vehicles. There are 6 mobile libraries and 2 large travelling libraries which serve larger communities – “neighbourhood libraries on wheels” complete with the technology to provide online access to services and resources.
Each mobile library carries around 3,500 items of stock including books for children and adults, talking books, local history and information.
Over 350 communities and over 800 stops are visited either weekly or 3 weekly. Residential Homes receive regular boxed exchanges via library delivery vans.
