Home Reader Service
Home Readers is a free service available to those who are unable to visit the library in person for any reason.
Benefits of the Home Reader Service:
- We have a wide selection of large print and ordinary print books
- We also have books on CD available for free to our users
We visit over 400 people in their own home, and supply books to residential homes, sheltered housing and nursing homes.
If you are unable to get to the library for yourself, or to carry books through disability, sickness or old age, call 0191 424 7870 or email home.readers@southtyneside.gov.uk. Full time carers can also use this service.
We are also happy to visit all new library members in their homes. This visit is an opportunity for us to get to know you and it gives us the information we need to be able to select the right books for you.
A member of staff will call each month to change your books.
