The intercity bus makes fixed stops according to a timetable so that customers can borrow and return media there. In addition, titles from the Biebrich district library's collection can be ordered and reserved. The library's range includes not only books, but also CDs, DVDs, Tonies, Tiptoi and current magazines. The intercity bus also provides free WLAN for using the online services.

Little legs need short distances: In 1997, the Wiesbaden mobile library equipped a book bus with 5,000 children's books, made targeted trips to elementary school and was awarded the Hessian Library Prize for its mobile primary school provision.

The new book bus with LED lighting, insulation, insulation and frosted glass windows, a friendly, bright interior and comfortable seating areas provides a modern library service.
