Warwickshire Libraries : Grab & Go Service

 

Grab and Go

Grab and Go is replacing the Click and Collect service.
Warwickshire Libraries are pleased to be able to offer a Grab and Go service at selected libraries, including Atherstone, Nuneaton, Leamington, Stratford & Warwick. Customers can enter a Grab and Go library for 30 minutes to return items, collect requests and browse shelves to borrow books using the self-service machines. No appointment is needed. Find out what services are available at your local library.

Book returns

Selected libraries can accept returns within restricted hours, no appointment required.

Mobile Libraries

These are not quite ready to go back on the road just yet, but regular mobile customers are being offered a home library service instead.


Find out what services are available at your local library. You will need a face covering and your library card with you.

 

The Test and Trace Support Payment (TTSP)

Stratford District Council is administering the TTSP which has been announced by the Government for residents who are struggling to self-isolate due to financial constraints. Individuals who are required to self-isolate and who meet the benefits-linked eligibility criteria will be entitled to £500, payable as a lump sum. These changes came into effect on 28 September 2020, alongside the legal duty to self-isolate.

The online application form is available from 12th October. The scheme will run until 31 January 2021. Please see the link below for further information and the application form.
