Mobile Library

Mobile Library update 2 March 2022

The Mobile Library will cease its urban and rural services from 15 March and will be used to deliver housebound services.

The mobile library does a rural route and an urban route around the New Plymouth district. It visits schools as far north as Tongaporutu and as far south as Ratapiko.

If you live in urban New Plymouth it will stop near your place every two weeks. Check the timetables to see when it's stopping at a location near you.
