Definition of «mobile library»

A mobile library is a type of service provided by libraries that involves bringing books, resources and other materials to people in different locations rather than having them come to the physical location of the library. This can be done through the use of vehicles such as vans or buses equipped with shelves filled with books, computers, and other resources for borrowing or reading on site. The mobile library allows people who may not have access to a traditional library or those who are unable to visit one regularly, the opportunity to enjoy literature, educational materials, and other resources typically offered by libraries.
