Home Library Service
Are you unable to get to a library?
Apply for the Home Library Service
The Home Library Service is a free service from Oxfordshire County Council working with Age UK Oxfordshire and Royal Voluntary Service that brings books, DVD, music CDs and audio books and information about other library services on a regular basis to you at home.
The service is offered to people of any age that are housebound and can’t get to the library due to disability, illness or full time caring responsibilities. This includes people who might need the service on a short term basis following debilitating illness or hospitalisation.
Through the help of volunteers we bring our library service to you at home.
How it works
As part of the registration process we will discuss the kind of books, DVDs, music CDs or audio books that you like to read or enjoy. We then arrange for a library volunteer to deliver these to you.
Our volunteers wear identification badges and provide a helpful and friendly service. Whenever possible, we try and arrange for the same volunteer to visit you each time.
Your library materials will be delivered and collected every three weeks. The Home Library service delivery service is free of charge and there is no charge for requests or late returns.
How to apply
To register for this service or for further information call Berinsfield Library on 01865 340771 or e-mail berinsfield.library@oxfordshire.gov.uk

As you will know, this Sunday is Remembrance Sunday, and we will be having the choir and congregation proceeding from the Abbey up towards the War Memorial for the Act of Remembrance at 11.00 am.
As such, between the hours of around 10.40 and 11.15 on Sunday morning, traffic wishing to pass through Dorchester-on-Thames will be diverted along Martins Lane and Queen Street.
