Volunteers needed to deliver to homebound customers
The Library to You service provides continuing library service to homebound customers who cannot travel to a library because advancing age or a disability is impairing their mobility, and who have no alternative means of obtaining library materials.

- You will receive library membership with special borrowing privileges
What’s involved?
- Library staff select a bag of items for the homebound customer based on the customer’s expressed preferences
- You collect a bag of items from the library for each customer, every two or four weeks
