Home Library Service from Bath and North East Somerset Libraries
Library at Home is for Bath & North East Somerset residents who aren't able to access their local library services for a number of reasons.
Volunteers deliver books, phone for a chat, select books for you, or stay for a chat as you work together to get to know one another and share your interests.
Eligibility

- you are living in sheltered housing, an adult residential or nursing home
