Service information

A Home Library service is run by friendly volunteers in Long Sutton, Stamford and Woodhall Spa Libraries. Each month, you can select the books or resources you’d like from the library catalogue, and they’ll bring them directly to your door. Alternatively, you can let them know your favourite genre and they can pick out a selection of relevant titles so you don’t have to.

Our Access Mobile service is available throughout the county for those unable to visit a core (staffed) Library or Community Hub due to location, health or mobility issues. To find out more click the link below.
