The Mobile is completely accessible, with a side lift, ideal for pushchairs and wheelchairs. It now has a computer for public use, with free Internet access and free printing, so access to information is now better than ever! Like all Sandwell's libraries, its free to join and free to borrow books.

The mobile library can also be booked to attend special events or to visit groups who want to experience books, reading and ICT services in a unique and informal environment.
