TEMPORARY CHANGE OF MOBILE LIBRARY SERVICES

Our mobile library vehicles travel thousands of kilometres each year, and we need to ensure our staff are kept safe on our roads. The Bellarine Surf Coast Mobile (BSCM) is currently due for some scheduled maintenance works, and will be off-road from time to time in the coming months. We will update the website accordingly once we confirm the exact dates.

As we are also experiencing staffing shortages, which will occassionally affect the level of service due to changing vehicles. 

The BSCM has now resumed services to Deans Marsh and Winchelsea on Fridays. For those visiting Deans Marsh and Winchelsea you will now need to choose BSCM as your pickup location for reservations.

The Deans Marsh Mobile stop is now parked inside the Deans Marsh Recreation Reserve off Pennyroyal Valley Road.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to adapt to ensure we can deliver a great service to as many community members as possible. Please be kind to our mobile staff who are always doing their best to provide a friendly service.

If you need assistance, please feel free to contact any one of our libraries and staff will be able to assist you over the phone. Contact details for all libraries, including mobile libraries can be found here. And our regular mobile library timetables can be found here.
