Other library services
Basic Skills
All Lambeth libraries have a collection of basic skills materials for those with low literacy levels or learning disabilities such as dyslexia. We have collections of titles that are written specifically for this audience by top authors. They have simple sentence structures and short chapters without compromising on the content and story. If you would like to know more about any of the above, please contact Abibat Olulode aolulode@lambeth.gov.uk 020 7926 1103
Home visit service
Lambeth Libraries Home visit service is a delivery service for Lambeth residents of all ages who cannot get to their local library and have no one to go for them. We bring the library to your home. We provide a wide range of books and other material from the whole of the library service, including community languages, audio-visual material, and a wide range of information. A book request service is available. For more information visit www.lambeth.gov.uk/libraries
Reading groups
Libraries have many types of reading groups for all ages, but one of the best is the Book at Breakfast group run in most Lambeth Libraries, for individuals aged 18 and over.
You don’t have to read anything in advance, as everything is read aloud to you each week.
You can simply drop in, sit down and enjoy listening to a good story or poem - there’s no pressure to talk, to read, or even to drink tea! (Although, it’s always available.)
Book at Breakfast gives everyone a place to relax, a chance to make new friends, and a new way to share reading. Full details of meeting times are available at your local library.
