Since December 2009, our Mobile library service operates on TUESDAYS ONLY.  The service is provided in Mahon and Blackrock on alternate Tuesdays, 10.00 a.m. – 1.00 p.m. & 2.00–5.30 p.m.   

Schedule for January 2012: 

• MAHON: Avenue de Rennes: inside the gates of the Community Centre, on alternate Tuesdays
  Loc8 code: WBR-05-B16
• BLACKROCK: The Pier, on alternate Tuesdays
  Loc8 code: WBR-87-L56

Operating since 1975, when our Mobile service used to serve six areas of the city over six days each week — before the opening of local libraries in Douglas (1976), Hollyhill (1980), Mayfield (1984) and Bishopstown (2006) — the Mobile Library now serves library users from two stop points, in Blackrock and Mahon, while we await the setting up of a permanent library in the Mahon peninsula.

Bookstock: 5,476 (January 2011)

Transport access: The no. 2 bus stops near the Pier on Blackrock Road. You can walk to Avenue de Rennes from the no. 2 bus stop near the CSO office on Skehard Road, or from the no. 2 bus terminus on Ringmahon Road.
