Day-to-day operating brief

What Home Library Service Delivery (Housebound) work looks like in practice

A Home Library Service employee selects and delivers books or other materials to people unable to visit a branch. Terms should cover eligibility, reading preferences, loan records, routes, vehicle use, keys, doorstep or indoor visits, cash exclusions, lone working, infection precautions, safeguarding and confidentiality. The employee should not enter unsafe premises, accept broad caring duties or discuss one customer's health and reading history with neighbours. Selection notes should record genres, formats and access preferences without unnecessary medical detail. Bags and boxes need customer and route identifiers that protect privacy in public, while returned material should enter the normal discharge process before being assigned to another borrower or treated as available stock.

Prepare personalised library selections.
Plan and complete delivery routes.
Issue return and renew materials.
