Housebound Book Delivery Service

Who can use the service?

To be eligible for this service you need to be a library member and unable to access the library in the short or long-term due to disability, illness, or injury. If you are not a library member, contact us about joining.

How does it work?

Books are selected by library staff based on your preferences. Once a month, books are then delivered by volunteer drivers or can be collected by a friend or relative.

Please be aware the service relies on the availability of volunteers and although we will endeavour to provide a district service there may be some rural areas that we are unable to provide deliveries to. All enquiries are welcome.

How do I register for the service?

You will need to complete an application and, if eligible for the service, we will arrange a phone call to find out your preferences.

If you are interested in this service, contact staff at Taupō or Tūrangi Library.
