If you live in Kent and are unable to visit a library due to ill health or disability, your local library may be able to arrange a home delivery service for you.

An initial visit will be organised to discuss your tastes and requirements, library staff will select suitable materials for you and a volunteer will drop your books and collect previous consignment at agreed intervals.
All volunteers are supplied with Kent Libraries & Archives identification cards.
