If you're unable to leave your home or care for someone who is unable to leave their home, we provide a home library service.
The home library service is for those who are unable to visit their local library due to:
- age related issues
- disability
- ill health or injury
- carer responsibilities.
How it works
The home library service is free of charge.
Once you've applied, we'll arrange a call to discuss what types of library items you'd like to borrow.
Items we deliver include:
- ordinary print books
- large print books
- audiobooks on CD
- jigsaw puzzles.
A volunteer will deliver and collect items to your doorstep.
Items are usually delivered and collected at least once every 4 weeks.
How to apply
You can apply online or by phoning 01634 337 799.
