Goldfields Libraries now offer a home library service to individuals who are unable to visit the library in the Macedon Ranges and Mount Alexander Shires. The service is run by trained volunteers who select library items that reflect the borrower’s preferences, or items the borrower has reserved themselves, and deliver them to their home on a monthly basis.
