Motivations for the project

EBLIDA, 31/05/2018. Session 2, Working accross border. Mulhouse (C. Storne) 6

« The mobile library makes up for the lack of French books in Freiburg. For thistargeted public, an effort was made regarding the stocks : Alsacian –bilingual books – children tapes» (1991 report fromMulhouse library)

A faithful publicA relationship between the mobile library

staff and the readersReaders come to borrow books but also to

practice their French

How, in the future ?

Replacing the bibliobus by another service, more efficient ? Part of the whole strategic thinking about the activity of the bibliobus, not only in Germany but also in Mulhouse Alsace Agglomeration

Up to now, the cross-border bibliobus is one concrete activity symbolizing the attachement to the local version of the European Charter for Regional or Minoritylanguages
