SETTLE COMMUNITY LIBRARY - HOME LIBRARY SERVICE

A free service for people of all ages who are unable to
get to the library or carry books for themselves.

“Having been a library member for 80+ years, it’s
sad when a decrease in mobility or lack of means to
actually get to a library takes away that pleasure of
an hour spent browsing the shelves and coming
home with a bagful of books.
So when a friend who is a user of the Home library
Service contacted them for me, suddenly a whole
new world opened up -a fortnightly visit from a
friendly volunteer who discussed my likes and
dislikes, favourite authors etc. now, less TV, more
enjoyment of a good book!
So I thank the organisers and volunteers of this
brilliant service and long may it last.”
A customer’s view of Settle Community Library’s Home Library Service.

We look forward to hearing from you.
