Mobile Libraries

Mobile library

Staffordshire Libraries provide a library and information service to villages, hard-to-reach 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 library service is delivered via a fleet of 8 creatively designed vehicles. There are 6 mobile libraries, each staffed by a driver/library assistant, 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. There is also a "relief" mobile library to ensure that service disruption is kept to a minimum.     

3 mobile libraries and the travelling libraries operate from Stafford; the remainder are based at key locations around the county at Uttoxeter, Lichfield and Burton.   

Each mobile library carries around 3,500 items of stock including books for children and adults, talking books, local history and information.  

Around 350 communities and 950 stops are visited either weekly or 3 weekly. Residential Homes receive regular boxed exchanges via library delivery vans.
