The Home Library service means everything to me, I listen to my books late into the night when I can’t sleep.

My volunteers are the kindest people in the world, they put themselves out every time. They get me whatever I want to read and choose books that I like. They won’t let me down and they always ring to let me know when they are coming to see me. I can’t fault them.

I wanted to do something worthwhile in my retirement. I enjoy reading so volunteering for the home library service was perfect.

I volunteer with a friend and we make deliveries to our customers once a month. We go to care homes as well as into people’s own homes.

I know that our customers really value what we do, but we also get a lot back from it ourselves. You can bring a smile to someone’s face by giving up a few hours of your time.
