Book bus

Southland District Libraries provides a Mobile Library service, operating on a four-weekly schedule.

The Mobile Library covers 50 stops across the district and offers a selection of fiction and non-fiction books for children and adults, as well as large print, audiobooks, jigsaws, and magazines for all ages.

Staff can take requests for items not on the bus and deliver them as they become available.
