Home Library Service Volunteer - New Milton Library area

Home Library Service Volunteers help once a month by selecting books from their local library & visiting customers to exchange them. This service is a free service for anyone who can't get to the local library to borrow books due to ill health/mobility problems or caring responsibilities.
