The home service provides clients with access to the library’s entire collection of fiction and non-fiction books, large print books, plain language books, audiobooks, magazines, newspapers, music and films.

The home service includes the collection of library material based on the client’s wishes and delivery to their front door according to agreement. Any library material to be returned is picked up at the same time.

The service is free of charge and exempts the client from any late or reservation fees.
