A service as such will be provided in the short term by the mobile library van that hopes to park in all of Nairn's streets for 10 minutes every six months.

Books will now be on loan for a year at a time with the option that borrowers can buy them at the end of that time. A library spokesperson stated that this new service will be a little like leasing a car with the option to purchase at the end of the loan
