Home library service

We can deliver collections of books, audio books or music to anyone who is home-restricted because of age or disability (long or short term).

We visit you to find out what kind of books and music you enjoy and what format of books you prefer.

This can be:

  • audio books
  • large print
  • paperback books
  • hardback books

All the services are free to the user. 

The collections are delivered monthly and requests are taken for particular titles or subjects.

Care homes and sheltered housing

We also provide collections of books to care homes and sheltered housing in the borough.

These collections are changed on a regular basis.
