Mobile Library. The mobile library service provided by the WRLC is integral to the delivery of library services across the region. To ensure the ongoing value of this service, the WRLC will comply with the following base level standards.
8.1 A mobile library service will be provided to areas with limited access to static libraries. Areas deemed to have limited access will, for the purposes of this Agreement, be at least 25 kms from the WRLC’s nearest static library.
8.2 The location for mobile library sites will be required to satisfy the following criteria:
(a) Be in close proximity to community facilities where people naturally congregate.
(b) Be visible to passing vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
(c) Have safe access to power and communications.
(d) Cater to the general community, rather than be a special purpose visit to specific groups or organisations.
8.3 The number of mobile library sites operated by and for the WRLC with one vehicle will not exceed twenty.
8.4 Member councils will ensure that mobile library sites are:
(a) Constructed from all-weather materials such as bitumen or concrete, with adequate access and forward egress for an articulated vehicle. The pad on which the trailer will be parked during visits is to be even and level, with adequate sealed approaches for pedestrians.
(b) Regularly maintained and kept free of hazards such as overhanging tree branches.
(c) Provided with adequate parking for patrons.
(d) Clearly designated as “no parking” areas, at least on days when visits are scheduled.
(e) Provided with clearly visible signage which shows opening hours and contact details for the WRLC and the member council. The signs will be kept current and regularly maintained.
(f) Provided with power and communications via a locked service box adjacent to the site. The service box will be located and maintained in accordance with relevant workplace health and safety regulations.
8.5 The mobile library’s opening hours are subject to a pre-determined schedule and will be periodically reviewed to meet the changing needs of the community.
8.6 In the event that sites are removed from service, the member council responsible for the site will continue to meet the costs of providing the scheduled service(s) for the duration of this Agreement, unless alternative arrangements are made with the Library Board.
8.7 The WRLC will maintain the mobile library vehicle in a clean and roadworthy condition at all times.
