Community Library Service

The Community Library Service (CLS) provides a service for anyone who can't get to a library. This could be because of disability, frailty or caring responsibilities. Temporary membership is possible if someone is recovering from an illness, hospital admission or surgery.

The CLS will visit people every month and we can bring normal print books, large print books, spoken word CDs or tapes, music CDs, DVDs, videos - and jigsaws. The team speak with the borrower to ensure what they bring matches people's interests and needs.

The service can also visit care homes and sheltered housing to deliver to people or to leave items in common areas for all to enjoy.

This service operates across Kingston, and staff can be contacted by phone or email. Volunteers with DBS checks will help to deliver the books.
