Home Library Service

Our Home Library service is exactly what it sounds like – we bring the local library into people’s homes.

Our volunteers bring a carefully chosen selection of books and audio books to those who are less mobile, or who find it difficult to get to their local library. Sometimes they offer movies and music too, all based on what the client likes.

The service doesn’t just deliver an important source of entertainment and mental stimulation. It also offers a friendly face, a chance to chat and some very welcome social interaction for people who can’t get out as much as they’d like.

If this service would be of benefit for yourself or someone you know, please do not hesitate to contact us at the library 01288352954 or bude.library@liscornwall.org.uk.

If you would like to become a volunteer to help deliver this service please also get in contact through the above details.

Bude Toy Library

We have a fantastic range of toys for both indoors and outdoors and cater for children aged 0 – 5. It’s a great way to provide your children with new toys without the expense of buying them. Just like a book library you can borrow the toys for two weeks , once you have joined as a member.

If you’re hosting a party our outdoor toys provide fun and low cost entertainment, some of the items include a roller coaster, slides, rockers, tunnels and much more.

Open Wednesday 9:15-11:15am and by appointment on Saturday 10:30-11:30am.
