Mobile Library and Home Delivery service
In response to feedback and increasing customer demand, from Monday 4 July 2022, we will be expanding our service in rural areas. We will be offering customers visits from our big Mobile Library van or delivering a pre-selected collection of Library books to your home with our smaller delivery van.
Please note that Mobile Library visits and home deliveries will now operate to a 6 week rotation, 3 weeks apart. So, for example, either the big Mobile Library van or the small delivery van will be in your area once every 3 weeks. We would like to encourage folk to choose their own books on the Mobile Library, rather than use it as a delivery van. Please click on the links below to see when the Mobile Library van or the delivery van will be in your area.
If you have any questions, or are a new customer who would like to know about our Mobile Library and Home Delivery service, please contact us by phoning 01595 743868 or emailing shetlandlibrary@shetland.gov.uk
