Listening to rural communities and keeping the mobile library service on the road is the aim of one Western Isles councillor.
Harris and South Lochs councillor John Mitchell says his perception from recent community conversations – organised by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar to determine future service choices – was that people strongly support the procurement of two new mobile library vans.
Certain groups within the comhairle have suggested the lifeline mobile library service could be replaced by community hubs offering library services.
