Our Libraries provide free monthly deliveries of library materials to housebound residents through its Home Library Service. Volunteers select and deliver items to residents living in their local community.
Our Home Library Service volunteers offer a free, friendly, and personalised service to eligible residents of the Mornington Peninsula. As a Shire Volunteer you will be required to complete mandatory checks including Police Check and Working with Children check, these checks are free for volunteers and Shire staff can assist you with the process. You will be provided with training and support. You are then connected to a borrower with similar interest and supported in establishing an on-going connection. This connection reduces social isolation and loneliness, fosters friendships, and provides a positive relationship for both borrower and volunteer.
Home Library Service Borrower testimonial: “I’m so grateful for the Home Library Service offered by the Mornington Peninsula Shire. It must be at least 5 years that I have had the same wonderful Home Library Service volunteer coming to my home every week. Who would have thought that through this amazing Service not only has a wonderful service developed but I have been guided in many different directions with my scope of reading material. I would recommend the Home Library Service to others in the community”.
