The Home Service - Bringing the library to your doorstep!
The Home Service brings the library direct to the homes of people who are unable to get to a branch or mobile
library through a disability or medical condition. The service delivers books, including the latest titles
in large print and talking books on cassette or CD for the visually impaired to people's homes. With many
borrowers already taking advantage of this valuable service, there is capacity to take on more customers
across the Kirklees area.
Items are chosen for each borrower by staff according to profiles drawn up in discussion with them. These
are delivered every two weeks. This service is available to all age groups, not just the elderly.
"Having worked for the Home Service for over four years, I have seen our customers continue to rise during
this time. Our service provides a lifeline to people who cannot reach their nearest library and still want
to enjoy reading. Home Service vans travel across Kirklees every day, making fortnightly deliveries to
customers. For the customers' peace of mind, deliveries are made by the same driver each time, on the same
day and at the same time," commented Senior Customer Service Officer, Mark Redman.
Residential homes
The service also visits 85 homes for the elderly, providing them with a deposit collection of books and other
items.
Anyone who is interested in the Home Service for themselves or for relatives and friends whom they think
would be interested should contact Senior Customer Service Officer Mark Redman, who will arrange an assessment.
