Mobile libraries are nothing new but moBib (a library on wheels) is for sure a special one. It is designed by Jacobus Marx and comes well equipped with state-of-the-art features. The entrance of moBib and the rear is approximately 40 percent larger than the general mobile library vehicles. The dominant feature of moBib is its movable shelves. They increase the capacity to hold more books and also serve more patrons at once.

The shelves are beautifully designed to fulfill all the functions. They are easily adjustable for height and spacing. The moBib can accommodate between 1400 and 1800 books. The roof is raised with a fiber glass and this will prevent anybody from hitting his/her head. With the presence of rounded shapes and the lack of sharp edges help prevent possible injuries while moving inside the vehicle. Everything is well planned inside the workstation. The movement of patrons is helped by two entrances.

The workstation is fitted with storage shelves for issue trays, books and stationery. MoBib can accommodate eight adults at a time. One of the shelves at the rear is used as a checkout counter in order to improve on security. LED technology is used to improve the lighting inside the library. The best part is that all the movable shelves of the moBib can be attached or detached by using a simple and a quick-release mechanism.
