If you love books but can’t get to a library – don’t worry!
Buckinghamshire County Council’s Home Library Service delivers
books, story tapes, CDs, videos and DVDs each month to people who
have difficulty visiting a library due to age, illness or disability. Trained
volunteers, known as Library Visitors, choose the items their customers
would like, and deliver them to their homes free of charge. The service is
provided in partnership with the WRVS who have both male and female
volunteers.

We realise that there are potentially many more people who would
appreciate the service, and are working closely with many agencies to
identify new customers. However, if you know of someone who would
like to receive the Home Library Service, please contact us
.
Alternatively, if you would like to become a Library Visitor, delivering our
service to customers, we would like to hear from you. Taking books to
people who love to read is very rewarding and much appreciated. Many
volunteers become valued friends to their customers. We know the
pleasure that reading, listening to a tape or watching a DVD can bring to
someone unable to leave their home, especially if they are living alone.

For more information on receiving the Home Library Service, please
telephone 0845 2303232, or to volunteer 01296 387863, or e-mail
