Home Library Service

The Home Library Service is available to anyone who cannot get to the library because they are housebound or have mobility difficulties. Members are able to choose books, including large print, talking books, music CD's and selected videos and DVDs in the comfort of their own home.

Many items are available in a range of community languages.

Staff will also attempt to answer any information or reference enquiries. The Home Library Service can make regular visits and is free.

If you know someone who would like to receive this service, or you are interested in the service for yourself, you can apply for it using the online Home Library Membership Form. Click the link below, fill in your details and then click 'Send' at the end of the summary page.
