Your Library. Delivered to your door.
London Public Library provides this free service to eligible residents of London who, for reasons of restricted vision, mobility, or long-term illness are unable to use regular library facilities. Seasonal service is also available with delivery during the winter months only.

You will be able to access the diverse collections of the entire London Public Library system (magazines, compact discs, as well as commercially-produced Books-on-CD) via your home delivery.
In addition, a variety of special formats are also available:
