Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council, GB "Ring and Read"

In Progress

Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council launched the new "Ring and Read" service to allow residents to safely borrow books from local libraries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents can submit an online form or call a local library to choose which genres they would like to read. The library then makes a selection of books based on the indicated preferences and arranges a time for the resident to collect them or receive a direct delivery.
