Edinburgh Libraries went mobile when it introduced the first urban mobile service in Scotland in 1949 serving areas without permanent library buildings. The reach of the library also increased with the introduction of a housebound service in 1964 through cooperation with WRVS volunteers. A library link service was launched in 1992 providing transport to and from the library for users who, due to physical constraints, would be otherwise unable to visit.
