Our Mobile Library: Darlington's library on wheels

Our Mobile Library is a video presentation about our library on wheels, from its origins in 1951 right through to its current status in 2017.

For financial reasons Darlington Borough Council voted to cease our mobile library from September 2016. Technically the service remained classed as 'suspended' until a further vote in March 2017 in which it was decided to cease providing the service.

This presentation includes the mobile library's schedules of stops over the years, the various events the mobile library attended in the borough, photos of the inside & outside of the vehicles, & the impact of withdrawal of the service followed by the council's response to a question from the public about the effects of that withdrawal.

With grateful thanks to:
- Friends of Darlington's Libraries group
- All campaigners & supporters of our libraries service, near and far
- The public of the borough of Darlington
- Our exceptional library staff
