By volunteering with the Home Library Service, you can allow vulnerable members of the community to access library material when it would otherwise be very difficult or even impossible for them. You will be delivering library materials once a month to someone who is unable to reach the library due to disability, injury, care responsibilities, or a variety of other reasons.
You have the option of telling us where you would like to deliver to and from what library you would like to collect material. Flexible arrangements can be made easily, and the time commitment to this role is minimal.
