Community Care Mobile Library

Community Care Mobile Library

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 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 tape and CD, music on CD, videos 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 collection to suit your personal taste.

Shropshire Library Service aims to provide an inclusive, responsive and accessible library and information service meeting the needs and demands of Shropshire’s communities, residents and visitors. For more information on the services available to the elderly and disabled please follow the link to Library accessibility on this page.
