What Is the Home Library Service?

The Home Library Service provides books and audiobooks, to people who find it difficult to get to the library due to age, illness, disability, or caring responsibilities.

• 📚 Visit the library to select books and add them to the customer's account.
• 🚗 Deliver books to customers' homes and collect returns.
• 💬 Chat with customers to build relationships and reduce loneliness.
• 🔗 Signpost customers to other helpful services if needed.

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering with the Home Library Service is a rewarding experience. You'll:

• Make a meaningful difference in someone's life.
• Share your love of reading.
• Gain new skills and confidence.
• Be part of a supportive team.

Who Can Apply?

Anyone over 18 with a friendly nature and a love of books is welcome. No experience is needed—full training and support are provided. Volunteers must undergo a DBS check, and references are required.
