The Community Care Mobile Library is a specially adapted vehicle providing services to older people and disabled people across Shropshire. The vehicle has a low side step as well as a ramp at the back. The current mobile library visits 120 locations including care homes, day centres, sheltered accommodation and some housebound people on a five week cycle.
You will find large print books, talking books on compact disc and tape, music on compact disc, and DVDs, as well as ordinary print books to choose from. If you cannot find what you want on the shelves, tell the staff and your choice will be brought on the next visit. If you are unable to visit the van in person, collections of books can be left at care homes and community rooms, or you can request a special selection to suit your personal taste.
There will be extensive changes to mobile library routes from 4 April 2011. If you would like further information please follow the link to the Mobile Libraries webpage or phone 01743 210806.
Shropshire Libraries aim to provide an inclusive, responsive and accessible library and information service meeting the needs and demands of Shropshire's communities, residents and visitors.
