Thanks Ethel & shaney for your answers.
Ethel I am 85 and my wife is 84,so obviously we don't drive anymore.
We only have two buses a day into our nearest town ,the terminus of which is nowhere near the library (neither of us walks very well now.
No Ring & Ride either Ethel,I investigated that,but we were told our village is "too rural" to have one.
shaney,
Our nearest library is especially unhelpful,as it comes under Hastings Town Council, and we come under (rural) Rother,which is a seperate Council,and they don't seem to co~operate at all!
I asked about the service(with WRVS) that you mention,only to be greeted with a deathly silence,about par for that library.
Thanks anyway,I shall have to consider other routes.
