We?re planning to expand our much valued Home Library Service to reach more housebound people and we need your help to do so!

Our Home Library Service already supports over 150 customers and we are expanding to 6 new home library hubs, to enable us to reach more people who can?t visit the library due to mobility, health or caring responsibilities.

Join our friendly team of volunteers in helping choose and deliver books to customers on a monthly basis. It?s a rewarding role and a great way to support others in your local community.?
