The Home Library Service delivers books to people who are unable to get to their local library, such as those who are housebound, living in long term care, carers, or people who are vulnerable due to long term conditions or disabilities. The service is open to people of all ages.

In a new short video with former BBC correspondent Clinton Rogers, Claire, aged 100years, explains how the service helps her to access new books, allowing her to keep her mind active. You can view the video here by clicking Somerset Home Library Service.

Somerset Libraries offer a wide range of brilliant services – as well an extensive collection of books, films, and digital products available to loan, there are health and wellbeing services, children’s activities and supported digital learning.

Somerset’s Home Library Service (HLS) is run by Somerset County Council with the support of amazing volunteers.

None of this would work without the brilliant team of friendly volunteers who make the service possible. If you have some spare time and a passion for reading, you may want to consider taking up a rewarding role as a HLS volunteer.

If you or anyone you know would like to receive the service, please contact Home Library Service manager Kirsty Jenssen by emailing kjenssen@somerset.gov.uk, or calling 07814 079831.
