New! Mobile Library

New Mobile Outreach Service

We are excited to have launched our new mobile library! This smaller, more versatile vehicle enables the service to access more locations and reach more customers. A new mobile library timetable has been introduced to better reflect community demand and patterns of use. The new timetable will continue to visit all previous stops on a new weekly schedule.
