PUBLIC LIBRARY/INFORMATION SERVICES TO THE HOUSEBOUND IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

Abstract

The provision of library services to the housebound in the United Kingdom is extremely diverse. Local authorities vary in their attitudes to priorities just as demand itself varies. The development of housebound reader services is discussed, along with staffing requirements and also the range and selection of reading material and other requirements such as music and books on cassette.
