Mobile & Home Library
The City of Playford Library offers a Mobile & Home Library Service making visiting the Library even easier. Below is some information about both of these services.
Mobile Library Service
What does this service provide?
The Mobile provides a wide selection of library materials including:
- Books (Children, Teenage & Adult)
- DVDs
- CDs
- Magazines
Where does it go?
The Mobile library operates on a fortnightly basis visiting...
- Shopping Centres (including Angle Vale, Virginia and One Tree Hill)
- Nursing Homes
- Retirement Villages
Please refer to the map below for exact locations and visiting times for January - June 2013.
On alternate fortnights the Mobile visits pre-schools and kindergartens helping to foster early literacy and establishing a link between young children and the library.
If you are located at a Pre-School or Kindergarten, please ask the driver for a separate timetable to visit your location.
Following a complete lack of patronage this year for the Elizabeth Vale Shopping Centre mobile library stop the Library has decided to discontinue this stop. This decision is based on the best use of our resources and matching our service to areas of demand. Our final visit to this stop will occur on Thursday 18 April at 1pm.
Who has access?
All residents are eligible to join the Playford Library Service and to borrow from either branch (Elizabeth & Munno Para) or the Mobile Library.
Access to the Mobile library is by step or wheelchair ramp.
