Medway mobile library service

Bringing you books and more

Mobile libraries carry a wide range of material including:

  • fiction;
  • non-fiction;
  • books for children of all ages;
  • large print books;
  • story tapes;
  • videos;
  • merchandise.

You can ask the mobile library staff to try to obtain items not immediately available on the vehicle. They can also help with your general enquiries. A small charge will be made for some requested items.

Once you have joined the library, after producing evidence of name and address, you can borrow up to 30 items. You may keep them for up to one month. Although fines are not charged on items which are returned late to the mobile library, borrowers are asked to request a renewal of the loan period. If a card or letter is sent to you as a reminder that an item is overdue for return, you will be asked to reimburse the cost of postage.
