Overview

If you can't come to us, we'll come to you

• Do you love reading but find it difficult to visit your local library, possibly because of age, disability or other special circumstance?
• Perhaps you are a carer yourself and cannot get to a library?
• Perhaps you live too far from a library service point and can’t carry items.

If so, we may be able to bring the library service to you, in your own home.
