About
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
Library at Home services are for B&NES residents. The support can be short-term or long-term, depending on your needs.
The service is provided for people who are living in the following circumstances:
- you are living in sheltered housing, an adult residential or nursing home
- you are living with a long-term illness or disability
- you have a sensory impairment
- you have profound or severe learning difficulties
- you are suffering from poor mental health or social and cultural isolation
- you have a short-term need for help (for example, following an operation)
- you are a carer who is unable to leave the home for any length of time

The Home Library Service is for residents who want to read or listen to books but have a range of mobility and/or other impairments which restricts their ability to leave home. You will be paired with a volunteer who will visit you at your home every few weeks, bring you new books/talking books that have been selected especially for you.
