Mackay Regional Council is inviting residents to help shape improvements to its much-loved Mobile Library service, which has been connecting communities across the region for 44 years.
Council is conducting a survey to better understand how residents use the Mobile Library, identify opportunities to improve the service, and ensure its schedule and locations continue to meet community needs.
Whether you're a regular visitor, have never stepped aboard, or would like to see the Mobile Library visit your area, council wants to hear your thoughts.
Mayor Greg Williamson said the Mobile Library played an important role in bringing library services directly to communities across the Mackay region, particularly those without easy access to a branch library.
“Our Mobile Library truck has been out and about in the Mackay region for 44 years, delivering books, resources and library services to residents right across our communities,” Mayor Williamson said.
“It provides an important service for people living in more remote areas or locations that don't have a nearby library, helping ensure everyone has access to reading, learning and community resources,” he said.
Mayor Williamson said community feedback would help council ensure the Mobile Library continued to deliver convenient and accessible services to residents across the region.
“We’re looking for ideas and feedback that can help us make a great service even better,” he said.
“Is there a particular day that suits you? Is there a location you'd like to see added to the schedule? Would you like the Mobile Library to visit your neighbourhood?
“Your feedback will help us understand where and when residents would most benefit from Mobile Library visits, ensuring we continue to provide a service that is convenient, accessible and responsive to community needs.”
The survey is focused on understanding community preferences for Mobile Library locations, visit times and service opportunities. Feedback collected will help inform future scheduling and service improvements to better meet the needs of residents across the region.
Consultation is open from 9am on Sunday, November 1, to 11.59pm on Monday, November 30, 2026.

Hard copy surveys are available on request from the Mobile Library or a Library branch near you.
