Service information

The Wandsworth Home Library service is run by friendly library staff. Each month, you can select the books or resources you’d like from the library catalogue, and they’ll bring them directly to your door. Or, you can let librarians know your favourite genre and they can pick out a selection of relevant titles so you don’t have to!
