Would you like to make a difference by taking books/audio books to people in their own homes?

Home Library Service Volunteers help once a month by selecting books from their local library & visiting customers to exchange them. This service is for anyone who finds it difficult to access their local library due to ill health, disability 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.

We ask volunteers to be able to select items for, and visit at least two library customers per month.  

What skills do I need?

  • An ability to relate to older people
  • A warm, friendly and approachable manner
  • Good communication and listening skills 
  • Basic level of IT - able to use emails
  • Able to work as part of a team
  • A reasonable level of fitness
  • Ability to drive with access to a car is of benefit but not essential
  • An interest in reading and books helps but is not essential
