Mobile Libraries Not everyone can get a library. Some people live far away from towns and cities. Other people find it difficult to go out because they have an illness or a disability .Thanks to mobile libraries, these people can still borrow books. Unlike most libraries, which store books in buildings, mobile libraries usually keep their books in a mini –bus. The back of the mini- bus has shelves for the books, and it is big enough for borrowers to step inside and look around. A driver takes the mini-bus to a certain place at a certain time, so people know when to expect it. They can then return their books and borrow some more . |
All Aboard the Library A school in London didn’t have space for a library inside the building. However, everybody agreed that it was still important to have a school library.
