The consultation will take place during April and May.<\/p>\n<p>A previous consultation had already looked at the numbers of people using the mobile library services and services are being withdrawn from areas with low levels of use. This has allowed a reduction in the number of vehicles from four to three and avoided spending on a replacement vehicle which would otherwise be needed. New mobile library timetables will start from 9 May.<\/p>\n<p>The committee report can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www1.dorsetforyou.com\/Council\/COMMIS2013.nsf\/MIN?OpenView&amp;Count=1000&amp;id=E701A6E15F7F1A9FD9CAA464DADCB156\">http:\/\/www1.dorsetforyou.com\/Council\/COMMIS2013.nsf\/MIN?OpenView&amp;Count=1000&amp;id=E701A6E15F7F1A9FD9CAA464DADCB156<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Issued By:<br \/>\nFiona King, Public Relations Officer<br \/>\nTel: 01305 224725<br \/>\nEmail: f.e.king@dorsetcc.gov.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have your say on the future of mobile libraries A consultation with communities and library users is being planned to help shape the service for the future.
