Our Homebound service delivers any of our WBRL materials to our patrons/residents who are unable to access our facilities due to medical, physical, or visual issues. We bring the library to you! We pick up and drop off materials at patron's residences regularly.

Homebound Services
It doesn’t cost a thing! Our Homebound service is free of charge for individuals who cannot visit our facilities (e.g. Medical reasons, disabilities, illness, severe arthritis, heart conditions, vision issues, etc.).
No, our homebound service is not limited by age. Anyone who can’t physically use our facilities can take advantage of this service. (mobility, health, vision, etc.)
Patrons can make their own requests for specific material, or library staff and volunteers can choose material based on individual patron preferences.
With our extremes of weather, it can be difficult to get around when you have mobility issues. Patrons can be signed up on a temporary basis (e.g. Seasonal service, or to recover from injury or illness). Please inform the Homebound Associate of the temporary service need at sign up time.
Due to organizational resources and staff needs, we cannot guarantee the same representative for each drop off.
