Community Library Service
The Community Library provides a free service to all residents of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames who for whatever reason would otherwise find it difficult to visit their local library. Staff call once every four weeks bringing a box of books pre-selected to each individual's tastes. Readers can choose from one to twelve books from their selection box per visit. There is a free request service.
For readers who have difficulty seeing ordinary print there is a wide selection of large print books.
There is also an extensive collection of Books on Tape available to those who are visually impaired or anyone who has difficulty reading ordinary or large print. You do not need to be registered blind to receive this service.
We can also supply videos, DVD’s, language and music tapes free of any hire charges, together with wool or jigsaw puzzles donated by the public.
Regular deliveries are made to residential homes, sheltered accommodation and day centres. A selection of up to 60 Large and ordinary print books can be supplied every twelve weeks.
Enquiries are welcome from all groups and individuals who would otherwise find it difficult getting to their local library. Please phone to discuss how we can best meet your needs.
To arrange a home visit or register a residential home or group, telephone 020 8547 5006.
