Whether you want to print off your boarding passes, research your family tree, surf the net for jobs, Google it or pick up one of our new books, get on board with our new mobile library service.
The new ‘more than books’ mobile library fleet is already proving a big hit with communities users both young and old.
Launched earlier this month, the revolutionary service on wheels is stocked full of support and is bigger and better than before with new routes and locations on its map.
Over 20 services have already teamed up with the library including Workways+, Age Cymru, Care and Repair, The Wallich, Gwalia Bond Scheme, Careers Wales and many more. Every week a service will join the fleet to offer residents advice and support.
Carmarthenshire County Council’s executive board member for leisure, Cllr Peter Hughes Griffiths said: “We’ve pulled out all the stops in Carmarthenshire to ensure our residents in rural communities get access to a wide range of services on their doorstep. We have added new routes following our public consultation and are currently delivering our new service across 38 communities. We hope as many people as possible from these communities will take advantage of this unique service by using all the services on offer.”
The three new mobile vehicles are decked out with the latest technology including Ipads, a large screen information point TV streamlining important information, a printer, and free internet access. A wide range of new books to suit all interests are refreshed every week.
Workways+ will be joining the fleet throughout August and September. The service which offers one-to-one mentoring, support with job-seeking and interview skills, help with writing CV’s, confidence building, the chance to gain new qualifications, and ultimately for some participants, a paid temporary job with a local employer.
