The Rutland Home Library Service is a wonderful lifeline for anyone who finds it difficult to get out and about to their local branch. Whether you are living with a long-term illness, a disability, or simply finding mobility a challenge as you get older, this service ensures you never have to miss out on the world of stories and information. Dedicated volunteers or staff members bring a curated selection of books, large print titles, and audiobooks right to your door. It is about much more than just reading; it is about staying connected to the community and maintaining your interests and hobbies from the comfort of your own home.
