Guildford Library

About Guildford Library

Our Library offers a warm, friendly and free Home Library Service to residents of the Cumberland Council area who are unable to personally visit the library and borrow items for themselves, either by reason of age, illness or disability.

If you like to read, listen to music, browse through magazines or watch DVDs then don’t miss out simply because you are not mobile or able to carry your selected library materials home.

To join just call the Special Needs Librarian on 9840 9919. An application form will be completed. You will need to provide some personal details, what and how much you’d like to borrow, and a delivery time. You will also need an original doctor’s certificate.

Items available for borrowing include:

• Large print books
• Normal fiction and non-fiction books
• Talking books
• CDs
• Magazines
• DVDs
• CD-ROMs

We offer the following services:

• Photocopying
• Binding
• Laminating
• HSC study room
• Free computer classes
• Business connect training
• Board game club
• Movie club
• And more

Bulk loans are also available to institutions such as nursing homes, retirement villages, aged care centres and senior citizens’ clubs in the Cumberland area.

The Special Needs Librarian can organise the selection and delivery of library items to you every month. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in the Home Library Service, please contact the Special Needs Librarian on 9840 9919.
