Abstract
In this paper, I set up travel routes considering conditions regarding the visit time zone and frequency of visits to service points in order to examine the possibility of improving the travel routes of a mobile library car operated by Tottori Municipal Mochigase Library. As a result, improved travel routes, for which necessary travel time was reduced by about 10% compared with present travel routes, were found. There is room to improve convenience for library users by adopting more effective travel routes and opening new service points. In an ageing society which will soon need increased delivery services, such a trial has importance.
