The bookbus is still in demand on the Otago Peninsula, despite borrowing numbers for Dunedin Public Libraries declining throughout the city. ‘‘The peninsula stops are among the busiest of our [bookbus] stops,’’ Mr Hawke said. Each week it stops at Portobello School and village, Broad Bay, and Macandrew Bay School and village. Mr Hawke said school visits could depend on what was going on at the school and what the pupils were learning. The total number of visits to libraries was more than last year, while visits to the bookbus were fewer.
