Home Library Service Volunteers help once a month by selecting books from their local library and visiting customers who find it difficult to access their local library due to health or mobility issues or caring responsibilities.
As a volunteer for the Home Library Service you can enhance somebody's life not only through the library materials that you take for them, but also through your companionship and contact you give them with the outside world.
