Home Library Service Volunteers Needed

Help us make a difference to people in your community by volunteering for the Home Library service.

Northumberland Libraries wants to make its service accessible to everyone. We are looking for volunteers to deliver books to people who are unable to leave their homes and who don't have anyone to visit the library for them.

The Volunteer's Role:

• You will deliver books, CDs, DVDs and talking books to people in their own homes. Visits are once a  month.
• If you are keen reader, you can choose the books for your customer but library staff will do this if you prefer.
• If customers request a particular book, simply pass it on to library staff.

If you feel you can help by becoming a Home Library Service Volunteer, please complete the Volunteer Application Form  and return it to the address on the form.
