Mobile libraries may be shelved
THE weekly mobile library service to 16 Mornington Peninsula towns may be taken off the road permanently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The service was stopped in March due to state government coronavirus restrictions and replaced by a home delivery service.
Mornington Peninsula Shire says the alternative has been so popular that it had decided to review the future of the mobile service.
Libraries, arts and culture manager Karina Lamb said the online “click and deliver” was used 1729 times during its first three weeks.
“We’ve received exceptional feedback on this service, and it has prompted us to take a fresh look at how we can best deliver library services to our residents,” Ms Lamb said.
