Mobile Libraries Day is an annual celebration of mobile library services in Scotland and the valuable contribution they make to the communities they serve.

This year Mobile Libraries Day 2023 will take place on Wednesday 15 November coinciding with Book Week Scotland. The awareness day is organised by the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC) and supported by the Scottish Government.  

You can find out more about how valued Scottish mobile library services are by reading the Libraries of the Move report which was commissioned by SLIC in 2018. 

Mobile Library services also contribute significantly to the aims of Forward: Scotland's Public Library Strategy and Vibrant Libraries, Thriving Schools, The National Strategy for School Libraries in Scotland

#MobileLibrariesDay2023 will celebrate the vital services mobile libraries provide and the important part they place within Scotland's communities.
