This state-of-the-art mobile library, a  new addition to the Royal Borough’s library fleet, was launched on  November 12  2008 .

The brightly decorated 7.5 tonne vehicle – designed by award-winning vehicle branding company Racoon together with library staff , has an impressive exterior, emblazoned with blue sky, green grass, books and a map of the borough, is complemented by a fresh, modern internal design housing up to 3,000 new books, large print and audio books.

At first the vehicle, which replaces a rented unit, will visit residential homes and supply books to volunteers working with housebound people. Eventually the vehicle will also join the borough’s other mobile library on the general public route.

Cllr Simon Dudley, lead member for adult and community services, said: “The Royal Borough is successfully bucking the national trend of dwindling numbers of borrowers choosing from a diminishing selection of items.

“Our libraries remain as important to us as they do to our residents. This mobile library is a major investment in a service that is helpful to those with limited transport and invaluable to the housebound.”

This  year the vehicle will be taken to the annual Mobilemeet, a nationwide gathering of mobile library vehicles, where it will compete in a national design competition.
