Mobile Libraries
The library has two bookbuses which operate Monday to Saturday visiting a large number of Dunedin suburbs.
The bookbuses offer a selection of fiction and non-fiction books for children and adults, and large print, talking books and magazines for all ages. Staff can take requests for items not on the buses and deliver them as they become available.
