Please note that our Visiting Library Services are temporarily unavailable due to COVID-19.
When you are unable to get to us because of age, illness, mobility limitations, or caregiver responsibilities, we will come to you.
Enjoy this free library service in your own home, or at your retirement or nursing residence. Once every month, a volunteer provides a selection of up to 20 items for you to borrow. The items can be returned during the volunteer’s next visit.
