Mobile Library and Home Delivery service
After the COVID pandemic, our Mobile Library and Home Delivery service was expanded and diversified in response to feedback and increasing customer demand. We now offer customers visits from our big Mobile Library van or we can deliver a pre-selected collection of Library books to your home with our smaller delivery van.
Please note that Mobile Library visits and home deliveries operate to a 6 week rotation, 3 weeks apart. So, for example, if the big Mobile Library van visits your area, the small delivery van will then be in the area 3 weeks later, with the Mobile Library returning 3 weeks after that. 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
