Homebound Outreach

These volunteers take Library materials on a regular basis to persons who are permanently or temporarily homebound. A library staff member selects an assortment of books, and the volunteer is called when they are ready. The volunteer then takes the books from the library to the homebound patron, and returns those from the previous delivery. Dates and times are arranged between the patron and the volunteer.

The Homebound Services Chair urges patrons who could benefit from this service to contact the Library. Those who use the service truly enjoy and highly recommend it.

If you have any questions, please call Joan Deuschle, Library liaison for homebound services, at 821-5770, ext. 1020.
