Portsmouth mobile library

Portsmouth Library Service will be introducing a new mobile library with books and talking books for all ages and interests and a public access computer.
All are welcome. Bring your existing library card or join for the first time.
This service will replace the Hampshire Library Mobile in Drayton, Farlington and Anchorage Park which will cease deliveries from the end of August 2014.
The new Portsmouth Mobile will begin services in September.

 A dedicated Mobile Library for the city will allow us to spend more time at each stop and support residents in more communities.
The mobile library service visits:

• Cosham Drayton, Aldsworth Close: every Friday, 12.15-1.15pm
• Farlington, Old Rectory Road: every Friday, 2.15-3.45pm
• Portsmouth, Anchorage Park Community Centre Car Park: alternate Fridays from 13 September, 4-6pm

For more details of the mobile library service, phone 0845 6035 631
