Brisbane City Council has a mobile library service, which offers a convenient service to residents living in The Gap.

Visitors to the mobile library can borrow from a collection of over 6000 items as well as access the wider library collection of over 1.4 million items, including children’s books, popular bestsellers from the FastBack collection and the latest magazines and DVDs.

Staffed and driven by librarians, the new mobile library is a custom built vehicle that transforms into a multi-dimensional library. Features include a covered deck, extension pod, a lift for wheelchairs and prams, solar panels, internet computers and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Membership is free. Simply visit the mobile library with your identification next time it is in your area and sign up!

The Mobile Library offers a range of free technology workshops and sessions for people of all ages and skill level.

The Mobile Library also hosts regular children’s storytime sessions that support early literacy development. Each session presents a fun, educational and interactive way of learning rhymes and songs that you and your child can take home to enjoy together.
