Home Library Service

This is a free service delivered by Bradford Libraries.

You are eligible for our Home Library Service if you are physically unable to visit your local library, have no other support to access Library services and you live in the Bradford District.

A member of our team will make an initial visit to your home to assess your reading needs. They will then visit you every four weeks on the same day and time, bringing a selection of books for you to choose from in the comfort of your own home.

There is no charge for the service - it is absolutely free - and you can borrow books in standard format or large print. We also offer audio books which can be played on an ordinary CD player for you to listen to.

If we do not have the books you want, you can request them for free, and we will try and borrow them from another library.

What people have said about the Home Library Service:

“What a fabulous service we can't believe that it's running, what a pleasure it is for someone to visit each month with such a great selection of books”

“I would just like to say how much we appreciated the service, time and care that your staff had for my mum, she really benefitted from receiving the visits”

“This service is a lifeline to me, it's helps me in so many ways, and I get to have a chat with the librarian each visit, which is a lovely bonus as I don't get out a lot and often spend days on end without seeing another living soul”
