Libraries and archives

Home library service

Our home library service is free for anyone who lives in Liverpool and finds it difficult to visit the city's libraries.

What can I borrow?

We'll lend you books in a variety of formats – hardback, paperback, large print, and audiobooks on CD. You can borrow up to 25 items.

We'll deliver the items you choose to your home every four weeks, and collect any you want to return at the same time. 

It is also free to reserve books, so you can request the latest blockbuster, or a more obscure title, and we'll do our best to source it for you.

Who can join?

If you live in the Liverpool city boundary and cannot access one of our physical libraries, please call or email us using the contact details below.

You can also join on a temporary basis while you are recover from illness or surgery, for instance.
