Calling all book lovers and digital masters! The Norfolk Home Library Service is growing and we need you!

Volunteers work alongside their local library to select and deliver books and other media to those who may find it difficult to leave the house, have mobility issues, or caring responsibilities. The service also provides regular, friendly social contact to check if clients are safe and well, to discuss reading and listening preferences, and to report any concerns to appropriate services as needed.
