Walsall libraries are offering a free service to local residents.
The Ring and Read home delivery service allows library members to loan books and have them delivered.
The following libraries are taking part in the scheme:
- Aldridge District Library
- Bloxwich District Library
- Brownhills District Library
- Lichfield Street Hub
- Streetly Community Library
- Willenhall District Library
To take advantage of the local book delivery service, you need to have a library card and fill out an online form, or give your library a call.
Though you aren’t able to browse the selection of books, you can choose from a variety of options, including books by specific genres or authors and even if you prefer hardback or paperback.
Walsall libraries are also delivering audio books.
Members can loan up to 10 books at a time, which will then be delivered direct to your doorstep.
