Angus Alive Mobile Library Provides Vital Services to Rural Communities

Lodged by Tess White Standard Motion 27 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises what it considers to be the vital services to rural communities provided by Angus Alive mobile library vans; recognises that Angus Alive has two mobile library vans, Glen and Isla, covering remote and rural communities across the Angus region; understands that the mobile library vans, as well as providing a traditional lending service, also provide regular vital community support, including health and wellbeing information sessions, council information services, Bookbug sessions for young readers, police and fire community services, hearing aid battery supply services and tailored sessions to rural schools and nurseries; notes that the vans are well-stocked with a variety of new and classic books, both fiction and non-fiction, large print books, audiobooks, dementia memory boxes and young reader books and story bags, and further notes that library staff are well-informed, going above and beyond to build relationships with community members who see the mobile library van as a vital service to rural communities.
