Home Library Service

If you live in Leicestershire, love to read but find it difficult to get to the library, the Home Library Service is what you need!

This FREE service can deliver books, CDs, DVDs (special interest only), and talking books to your home on a regular basis by registered volunteers. They will visit you to discuss your choice of books and deliver them to your home. Friends or relatives can also collect books and other items on your behalf.

We have a good selection of books in large print for people who find ordinary print too small.

We also stock a collection of talking books - often read by famous actors and celebrities, and in many languages. These are available on tape cassettes and CDs.

There is also a DVD subscription service available for a small charge.

Is this you or someone you know?

“I used to come to the library every week but since my stroke I don’t get out much.”
“Since my sight went, I can’t read so easily.”
“Large Print books are so heavy I can’t carry them home.”
“I would love to get to the library but I look after my wife full time so it’s difficult.
'I've had an operation and it will be months before I can get out and about again. As I live on my own its really difficult.”

If the answer is YES, just contact the Home Library Service or your nearest library and start reading!
