Update on Midlothian’s Mobile Library

A technical fault with the new Mobile Library has been identified and requires urgent repair.

As a result, the launch of the Mobile Library service is delayed. The Mobile Library will not begin its timetable on 20 May as planned.

A Midlothian Council spokesperson said: “We know how important the Mobile Library is to local communities and how much people were looking forward to its arrival.

“We’re sorry that we can’t start the service as planned. Our priority now is to fix the fault as quickly and safely as possible so the library is reliable from day one.

“As soon as the repairs are complete, we’ll confirm a new start date and share an updated timetable. We’ll also announce the winning name from the competition at that time.

“Thank you to residents for their patience and understanding while we resolve this.”
