What happens next?
Once we receive your completed application it usually takes two or three days for us to do our bit and send your first books. We also send an audio guide on how to use the service so that you get the best out of it, and Press Play, a magazine full of great ideas for books to enjoy.
Generally, we send books that are suitable for your age. If you don't like a book we have sent, just send it back and we will send another.
You can also set up your own reading list. You can do this online once your membership has been accepted - please ask us for a password. Or you can choose books from our printed catalogue (download an order form here). If you would like help to choose your books, please phone us.
Once a year we will send you an audio newsletter, compiled by young people specially for you.
We always make sure you are never without a book and if you would like extra, because you are going on holiday for example, just ask us.
