Hi 
I would also be interested in this as we are investigating using
volunteers within Dudley Home Library Service. Can I be copied in to any
replies.

We're looking at using our area WRVS  volunteers to deliver our Home
Library 
Service. I'd be interested to hear from other authorities already using
WRVS 
especially their charges(if you could share them) , how it works, amount
of 
library staff time involved, recommendations. I'd be especially
interested 
in how they access your stock for delivery as we have no central reserve
for 
this. It is currently done by volunteers recruited by us from each
library 
in the area.
