These cater to our rural and isolated communities.

This can be used by anyone unable to get into the library; WRVS volunteers deliver a service to peoples' homes. This service is provided to all customers who are unable by reason of age, disability or infirmity, to get to a Library building and who cannot make satisfactory arrangements for library books to be changed by either relatives or friends. Whilst some customers may use this service in the long term, others can utilise the service in the short term (e.g. if someone is recuperating at home after an operation) The basis of the service offered will be the loan of books and audio visual material and a request service. These services are free to the customer. The library service is constantly on the lookout for volunteers to help us with this service, but also for any clients who may wish to sign up to use the Home Library Service. Anyone wishing to sign up or wanting 7 more information should contact Glenys Knowles at Morecambe Library: 01524 402111 or [email protected] . It is also possible for us to deliver information for relevant groups/agencies/organisations to our Home Library clients.
