<h1 style="text-align: center;">The Housebound Library Service</h1>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>How the Service Works</h2>
The service exists to provide a tailor-made service to all members of the community who are unable (whether on a temporary or permanent basis) to visit their local library.
&nbsp;
It is available to residents of Havering who are unable to get to the library due to age, illness or disability and have no-one who can visit a branch library on their behalf.
&nbsp;
Our volunteers will visit you in your own home at an arranged date and time with your local library and provide you with all the services that are available through loan in the Library Service.
&nbsp;
Loan of all categories of fiction and non-fiction (in either spoken word CD or large print stock) are available from the entire Havering Libraries' collection.
&nbsp;
We compile an individual reader profile for each of our customers based on their reading preferences, which is regularly updated and allows us to provide our customers with the service they require.
&nbsp;
Customers can borrow up to 25 items at any time and we are happy to renew items on request.
&nbsp;
All items may be borrowed to individual customers free of charge.&nbsp; In addition we are happy to take and supply requests free of charge.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Spoken word (talking books)</h3>
If you prefer to listen to books rather than reading them, we have a wide range of spoken word CDs for you to choose from.
&nbsp;
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>Large Print Books</h3>
For customers who have difficulty reading normal sized print, all our local libraries stock books in larger print.
&nbsp;
If you or a friend / relative are interested in using our Housebound Service, please telephone your local library.&nbsp; The phone numbers can be found <a href="https://haveringproduction.mylibrary.digital/digital-content/libraries/find-a-library">here.</a>

Seven people wake up in a remote mansion. The doors are all locked. They have no idea where they are. Who brought them there. Or how to escape. Each knew the victims of a dreadful crime committed four years earlier but that's all that links them.Then a voice echoes through the house with a terrifying message. They've been poisoned - and have less than 12 hours to live. There's an antidote on hand: but only if someone admits to being a killer. And they all claim to be innocent. The time for confession is rapidly running out. How many - if any - of them will survive the night?
