The Home Library Service brings the library to you!

If you can’t visit one of our branches in person due to age, illness or disability, this service ensures you'll never miss out on the magic of books and stories.

Our friendly Home Library Service officers carefully choose items to match your interests and deliver them right to your door.

Whether you love reading, watching or listening, your selections are collected and refreshed monthly so you'll always have something new to enjoy.

How it works

If you, or the person you care for, is unable to visit the library or carry library items home due to age, illness or disability, you may be eligible for the Home Library Service. 

Once you sign up, a Home Library Service Officer will contact you to arrange a time to meet and discuss your borrowing preferences with you.

Staff will select your items, deliver them to you and collect your previous items.
