We provide a free book delivery service for those who have difficulty getting to a library and for people in residential care homes.

How to apply

For more information contact 01204 332853 or email homelibraryservice@bolton.gov.uk.

How it works

When you join you will be asked to give us an idea of what you like to read and whether you’d prefer standard, large print or audio books.

We will deliver up to six items which you can keep for two weeks.

Deliveries take place throughout the year, except for bank holidays and are made by home library service staff or by a regular volunteer.

If you are interested in becoming a home library service volunteer please visit volunteering opportunities.

Residential homes

We can visit residential and nursing homes every four weeks to deliver a selection of books for the residents to enjoy.
