Mobile Libraries, Design and Construction: A Survey of Current Practice.

Forty-one country libraries in Wales, Scotland and England were surveyed in 1970 in an attempt to establish current practice in the design and construction of mobile libraries. This report is the first step of the Branch and Mobile Libraries Group of the Library Association to establish standards for mobile library design and construction. The survey covers the overall dimensions of mobile libraries, the chassis, coachwork, external details, internal details, electrical system, heating and ventilation, and accessories. (Author/MM)
