New Goldfields Mobile Library Vehicle Hits the Road

Mobile Library users in the Goldfields Region are set to benefit from a new Mobile Library vehicle which is now on the road.

The Mobile Library has been providing service to communities in the Goldfields Library region for over forty years.

Currently it services 17 community stops across the City of Greater Bendigo, Buloke, Loddon and Central Goldfields Shire, covering 971 kms per week. 

Goldfields Library Corporation CEO, Chris Kelly said the new vehicle will provide a more reliable service for the communities it serves.

“Our previous vehicle was manufactured in 2004 and has covered over 380,000 kilometres.

The new vehicle has a more efficient engine and a larger fuel tank which will allow us to better utilise our time schedules”

“The Mobile Library visits  each of the 17 stops once a week, giving our regional and rural communities  access to browse over 10,000 items to borrow and an opportunity to reserve books, magazines, DVD’s and CD’s from the regional collection of over 300,000 items” Says Ms Kelly

The current mobile library timetable can be viewed on Goldfields Library Corporation website at www.ncgrl.vic.gov.au or phone 5449 2700 for further information.
