TWO new electric mobile libraries are hitting Warwickshire’s roads.
The colourful and modern vehicles replace the previous diesel ones.
They are similar in size and offer the same reliable service. They also provide the same number of books including plenty of new titles suitable for all ages.
Warwickshire County Council’s mobile library vehicles make 250 stops across the county over a four-week schedule, and both vehicles are fitted with a lift, as well as a low entrance of two small steps and a ramp at the rear for wheelchair users, to provide improved accessibility for customers.
The new vehicles also enable the service to be delivered in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way, producing zero emissions and reducing local air and noise pollution.
WCC’s customer spokesperson Coun Yousef Dahmash said:“The two new electric-powered mobile library vehicles are an exciting addition to Warwickshire Libraries service offer. They will provide a wonderful selection of books to those who cannot otherwise visit our library spaces, as well as improved accessibility options, and greater signposting to local support services on board.
“Not only will this enhanced offer improve the customer experience, but the electric vehicles support the council’s ongoing work to mitigate the impacts of climate change by producing zero emissions.”
