A woman has shared how a mystery library service went unnoticed.
Joan Lamb, from Whitley Chapel, encourages others to use the Northumberland County Council library van during its regular visits.
Despite physical challenges, Joan gathered friends for the van's arrival last Friday, only for it not to show due to a breakdown.
The mystery began when Joan, a member of the WI book club since her surgery, realised the van had been visiting Whitley Chapel regularly, unnoticed.
Due to mechanical issues, the old labelled van was replaced by a small white transit van, going unrecognised and unused.
All is not lost, though, as Joan has now informed rural readers that a van, labelled or not, will resume its rounds on July 13 to visit Juniper at 9.50am, Whitley Chapel at 10.40am, Middle Dukesfield at 1.30pm, Slaley Bungalows at 4.10pm, and Slaley opposite Linton House at 4.55pm.
Future dates will be advertised in the van and in the Hexhamshire Magazine.
Joan also reassures NCC library members that overdue books do not incur fines, as NCC does not charge fines on mobile or branch libraries.
Alternatively, books can be renewed or returned at a static library.
