Mobile library
Peterborough's mobile library has a regular weekly route around
the city of Peterborough and surrounding villages. See the
timetable to find out when it
stops near you. It carries a varied stock including board and
picture- books for babies and toddlers, books and talking books for
children and teenagers, fiction and non-fiction in standard print,
large print and on talking books and a selection of DVDs.
You can join Peterborough Libraries on the vehicle or use your
normal library card if you are already a member. Climb on board the
Peterborough mobile library and our friendly staff will help you
find something you will enjoy reading or watching. It runs weekly
from Monday to Saturday and covers different areas of Peterborough. A
request service is also available, for further information
please contact the central
library.
Special mobile
Peterborough's special easy-access mobile library has a dual
function. It visits residential homes and sheltered housing
complexes in and around Peterborough on a monthly rota to allow
residents to choose books. (Staff deliver a fresh supply of library
materials each visit to housebound residents). It also has regular
weekly stops at Welland, Paston Ridings,
Highlees, Leighton and Hampton Hargate primary
schools. These stops provide an opportunity for
members of the public to use this library, using their Peterborough
Libraries' membership card.
The Special Mobile is well stocked with large print books,
talking books and videos as well as the latest fiction in standard
print. The helpful staff will order items from other libraries
if they are not immediately available on the shelves.
Library link service
