Testimonials from our library members: 

  • “Home Library Service has saved my sanity during lockdown with this service, delivery on time, very good selection of books by taking note of what I’d like and I know from experience how difficult it can be making choices of books for some else. HLS provides a sterling service which I hope is truly appreciated as the staff are friendly, helpful and efficient”.
