Mobile Library
Along with our six branch libraries, we also have a Mobile Library that visits various communities across the Far North District.
The Mobile Library is our library on wheels that enables our communities to borrow books, magazines, DVDs, talking books, and more from a convenient location close to home.
We invite our communities to come along, have a chat with our friendly mobile librarian, and use our free Wi-Fi.
Please note: The van will not be on the road on public holidays
Check out the times and locations of our Mobile Library below.
