Everyone is welcome to use the Mobile Library Service of Western Isles Libraries. Here is how we use the lift for patrons with mobility issues.

Lewis Mobile Library

Harris Mobile Library

Two short films of the Lewis Mobile Library and the Harris Mobile Library shot in September 2015 - one day in Uig, another one in South Lochs - to promote what we do and show why the Mobile Library Service is such an important part of the Western Isles Libraries Service. We hope you enjoy it!
