If anyone from the following authorities are subscribed to this list, please could you let the staff of the children's mobile libraries, or "bookbuses" know that I am trying to contact them.
Manchester, "Reading Voyager"
Rhondda Cynon Taff "Readabout bookbus"

Swansea
Gloucester "Share a book"

I am researching the effect of children's mobile libraries on the literacy of the children that visit them and I am attempting to get information from all the children's mobile libraries in Britain. I have visited or spoken to staff from many other library authorities and the list above shows the ones that are left to do. I am being a bit like a train spotter, I know, but for the research to show a comprehensive view I would like to have some contact with everyone. The resulting research is for a doctoral thesis (Loughborough University), but its findings will be shared with participating authorities. Email me for more information.
