Home library service

The Home library service, based at Kenilworth library, are often looking for volunteers. Commit as much or as little time as you can spare, from one day a month to a few hours a week, Monday to Friday.

You can help with:

  • Visiting/driving: use one of our transit vans to visit housebound people across Warwickshire. It is not necessary to be able to drive as volunteers always go out in pairs. Some customers like to chat while others see the visit as a delivery. If you do not wish to commit to a regular day and are happy to be added to a list of volunteers to be contacted on an ad hoc basis, these roles may be for you.

  • Book selection: select books for our nursing home collections. Ideal if you enjoy working in a team and have a few hours to spare each week.
