171101W Robinvale: Regional bookmobile, based in Swan Hill. (Roderick Smith).
I had a very long chat with the librarian, who was very informative. Notice the pullout section (which houses the information and operations desk).
Rural City of Swan Hill covers a huge territory, but with nearly all of the 20 000 citizens are in Swan Hill itself. The towns stretch from Lake Boga in the south, through Swan Hill along Murray Valley Highway to Robinvale and Wemen, and from Ultima in the west northwards to Manangatang.
The library does seem to run on a fortnightly program, and does serve NSW town too.
