I also met up with the librarians from East Riding, London and Warwickshire. The East Riding staff had come across on a freighter from Immingham with their mobile library. The next day the conference started, Alan Moir, the Chief at East Riding, was first speaker and gave a very well-received speech on the cutting-edge performance of his library service Also well received was another UK speaker, Philip Ware of Bexley. All the papers can be found at http://www.nordicmobile.no/index.php?c=2&kat=Programme and also more pictures of the event. Viewing the vans The afternoon was spent looking round the vehicles and networking with delegates from many different nationalities. As well as the East Riding vehicle there were many splendid vehicles to see. Soria Moria, a children’s vehicle from Norway, was a very colourful van and deservedly won the livery prize. With an exuberant librarian who tells ghost stories dressed as a ghost and does belly-dancing, this was a popular van with delegates There were two immense trailers from Finland and Denmark, one of which had sections which open out to make the vehicle twice as wide. It was more like the size of a classroom than a mobile library. There were small vans to get in mountain areas and a splendid show of international co-operation, a German van with Danish books and a Danish van with German books both operated around the borders. We had a van all the way from the Sami people in North Norway. This van had actually travelled further than the East Riding van. This is also an international van as the Sami people are to be found in both Norway and Sweden. It was very personalised as the staff had made their own diy improvements to the interior. Prize winners In the evening there was a party and the announcement of prize winners. Much to the delight of our British contingent the East Riding mobile library won first prize in two of the three categories. So it was a happy bunch of mobile librarians that celebrated afterwards although beer and wine at £6.50 per glass kept the drinking down. I bought a drink for the Head of Nigerian Library <strong>Service</strong>s who had come to IFLA especially for the mobile library sessions, but as she earns less than a tenth of a British librarian this was the equivalent of a £90 drink to her! Congratulations to East Riding and thanks to all the other UK delegates who made the long trip to Oslo. 32
