The mobile library has a large collection of books, including fiction and non-fiction as well as large-print books.  A variety of cassettes, compact discs and talking books is also held.

A small selection of Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Gujarati and Hindi material is carried. We have available a wide variety of books for children and for teenagers.
