Library books to your door
If you or someone you know are finding it difficult to get to the library, the Home Library Service can help!
Run by Oxfordshire County Council, the Home Library Service is completely free and delivers books and other library materials to hundreds of people across the county.
Friendly volunteers choose items you like and visit every three weeks to deliver and collect them.
The service is open to people who struggle to physically visit a library. It’s also available on a short-term basis after illness or hospitalisation, and to people with caring responsibilities.
Registering is easy, simply call your local library or the Home Library Service on 01865 810259 or email homelibraryservice@oxfordshire.gov.uk

JUST A REMINDER FOR THE TELEPHONE BOX
We have received very good feedback from many users about the red telephone box opposite the corner shop in Lower Shiplake, which has been convertd to a free library.
To keep it working well for all, we need to remind everybody of the following:
1. Please could you look out books for Primary School children. This is a way we can help the next generation to enjoy reading.
2. Please do not leave large bags of books on the floor. Fill the spaces.
3. This is a reading centre – please do not leave us Reference Books. Most of the information is on the Web so they do not move on.
4. Please do not put Commercial literature on the shelves or stuck on the glass.
Thank you all for your support. We hope it will continue to be a useful village amenity.
