Living in a care home? We'll bring the Library to you.
Tea and Tales
Our free Tea & Tales service sees staff pay a visit to read stories aloud to a group of residents.
You can engage and be part of book-related discussions if you wish to. Or just sit back and enjoy the story. It's also a chance to meet others and make friends, chat and have fun. Our themed sessions include accompanying photographs and pictures to bring stories to life on topics like the old Guernsey Zoo, the tomato industry, fishing, local shops, Guernsey characters, and more.
Tea & Tales currently reaches more than 100 older adults per month. To find out more and arrange a visit, contact Jackie Burgess on 720392 or email [email protected]
Care Home Resources
Care homes can borrow library books and other materials, free of charge, on a long-term 'deposit loan'. Keep a small collection of books at the care home for residents to enjoy, and change them over periodically.
Including:
- Fiction and non-fiction books
- Large Print books
- Pictures to Share
- Stories on USB (to support those with a visual impairement)
- Audiobooks on CD
- Local history
- Jigsaws
- DVDs
Don't forget your residents can also access thousands of eBook and audiobook titles through BorrowBox, as well as digital newspapers and magazines from PressReader.
For more information on any of these services please contact Jackie Burgess on 720392 or email [email protected]
