What is the Home Library Service?
The Home Library Service is a free delivery service for residents of Port Phillip who are unable to visit the library due to ill-health, frailty, disability or recovering from an operation or injury, whether on a temporary or permanent basis. Visits can be made fortnightly, 3 weekly or monthly as required.
