Everyone is welcome to drop in to find a selection of books to borrow.
If you are not yet a member of West Berkshire Libraries, you can join when you visit - it's FREE!
If you can't find the books you are looking for, just tell us about the sort of books you like to read and we will choose a selection for you for to collect at our next visit.
At Home Library Service
If you can't come to us, we'll come to you.
If you find it difficult to visit your local library and are unable to get to us, possibly because of age, disability, lack of access to transport or caring responsibilities, our At Home Library Service may be able to deliver books to you.
There is no charge for this service, except when you request a book not held in any West Berkshire library.
How does it work?
A member of staff will visit you to discuss your requirements, to find out what sort of books you enjoy and whether you prefer hardbacks or paperbacks, large print books or perhaps audiobooks (spoken word items). If you want to use our e-library service, we can help you with that, too.
A library volunteer will then choose and deliver books to your home at a pre-arranged date and time, usually every three weeks. You can request favourite authors or particular titles and we will be happy to get them for you if we can.
Our library volunteers are friendly and always enjoy a chat. They have all been DBS (Police) checked.
