| We provide a range of special services to make our libraries accessible to all. Our Community Bus provides transport to our Chelsea, Cheltenham and Parkdale Branches on set days each fortnight. Call the Home Library Service Coordinator on 1300 135 668 to learn more.
If you're unable to visit your nearest branch due to frailty, disability or injury, we can provide free deliveries through our Home Library Service.
Volunteers give their time to choose books and other materials from our branches and deliver them to clients in their own homes, visiting every 3 to 4 weeks and providing a friendly personalised service. Some volunteers visit just 1 person, whilst others visit 2 or 3.
Extra volunteers are always needed for this rewarding work. If you’re interested please contact the Home Library Service Coordinator on 1300 135 668.
Institutions such as nursing homes or hostels can also use these services.
