Now you can also support the library service by donating online. You don't have to donate. Hertfordshire Libraries are a universal and free service to the community. Your decision to donate is an entirely voluntary one. We ask that you donate only as much as you feel comfortable with. You may want to consider either a one-off payment or more frequently.

A reminder that you can pick up a FREE new pair of slippers at Rickmansworth Library and find out how to avoid falls, on Tuesday 20 October 10am - 1pm.

Old slippers often cause trips and falls, which can lead to unnecessary stays in hospital and loss of independence. Residents who are older, have mobility difficulties or a disability, can throw away their worn-out slippers and swap them for a brand-new free pair of anti-slip ones - and find out more about keeping themselves safe and well at the same time.

Learn how to stay safe with an occupational therapist and receive advice and freebies from many other community partners.

No need to book! Just visit the library between 10am and 1pm and library staff will be on hand to help you and introduce you to the services for older people such as social groups, activities; the Home Library Service; information, and the Carer’s Library Card.

Getting a certified copy of official documentation from a GP is often charged for, however libraries across the county will do it for free! All you have to pay for is the photocopying - 20p per A4 page (black & white) or 60p per A4 page (colour).
It's also become a totally online process.
For those who don't own a computer, they may not know library members get 2 hour a day on our public PC's absolutely free. If they're not totally tech savvy, then we have 'Digital Champion' here most Fridays from 4.00 - 5.45 and they can help you get to grips with the application process.
If you know anyone who may be applying for their Blue Badge - please let them know about our services, and that they can always pop in for a friendly chat in any of the Hertfordshire Libraries. We also have paper copies of the form if you prefer.
