Home Library Service

The Suffolk At Home Library Service brings the library to housebound people. With the support of library staff, local WRVS volunteers regularly take books and tapes to over 2000 people in their own homes, in sheltered accommodation and residential nursing homes. The service also runs monthly reading groups aimed at older people in Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich and Lowestoft libraries. Along with Suffolk Artlink they published a book called Full of Life which is available in libraries across the county. There are also Top Time weekly meetings for older people and family carers held in libraries.
