Mobile Libraries
Hop onboard one of our mobile libraries and be delighted! The buses are full of books, magazines, music, a great range of children’s picture & chapter books, and more. You can join the library onboard and learn about the library’s digital collections: eBooks, eAudio books, movies, and magazines!
Our two bookbuses visit communities throughout Dunedin on a weekly schedule, bringing the Dunedin Public Library to where you are. The buses travel down to Brighton, up North East Valley, and along the Peninsula as far as Portobello. Come and see us, we’ll not be far from where you are.
