Denbighshire Home Library Service

Denbighshire’s Home Library Service is back after a short break with a brand new team. If you can’t get to the library, then let the library come to you with our free service to your door. Every four weeks we will visit your home to deliver and collect your items to Denbighshire residents who are unable to get to the library themselves. This may be due to disability, inability to carry heavy books, housebound without any family or friends to collect books for you or a caring role.

We offer novels, information books, large print and talking books. You can also use our online catalogue to request items 24/7. Our excellent team will discuss your reading choices and preferred language and formats with you. User preferences are recorded and the team will choose and prepare the items, these are then delivered to your door.

We can bring items to your home, sheltered accommodation, nursing home or day centre. The value of the service is demonstrated in the frequent praise received by the team.

“The service is great, really appreciate it, I’d be lost without it!”

“The books are chosen with care across the topics that are of most interest to me, many thanks”

For more information or if you or someone you know would like to be considered for the service please call Ruthin Library 01824 705274 or email blair.gardiner@denbighshire.gov.uk
