Home Library Service

Find out about the Home Library Service, a way of bringing our service to you when you cannot get to your local library.

The Home Library Service can visit you if you live in Islington and find it difficult to get to a library because you:

  • are elderly
  • have a disability or long-term illness
  • are caring for someone.

The Home Library Service can make regular visits and the service is free.

What you can get from the Home Library Service

  • Books (including large print) and talking books
  • Music CDs
  • DVDs.

Many items are available in a range of languages.

Staff will also try to answer any information or reference questions.
