“To be eligible, people would need to live in the City of Swan and be physically unable to access one of our six library branches.
“If you would like to discuss the service, please call your local library.”
Altone Ward councillor David Fardig said the service relied on volunteers to help.
“Our Housebound Service volunteers assist with selection of resources and delivering these to the library members,” he said.
“We are always grateful to have more volunteers and if you think you could help, please contact the Swan Volunteer Resource Centre by calling 9278 9690 or email swan.volunteers@swan.wa.gov.au.”
