IOW Libraries

Home Library Service If you are housebound, either temporarily or on a more permanent basis, and are unable to borrow books from your local library as a result, the Home Library Service might be just what you need. Set up to help people live full, independent lives in their own homes, the Home Library Service will call on you every three weeks, bringing you a selection of books in normal or large print and spoken word tapes and CDs. You tell us what your reading tastes are, and we will do our best to satisfy them! Please have a look at our web pages for more information about how to apply. (Link above) We look forward to hearing from you and visiting you soon.
