The Library provides special services to people who are homebound and/or cannot read printed material.

Outreach patrons can access any items from the Library collection (some restrictions may apply). Of special interest to Outreach patrons may be:
- Descriptive videos and DVDs
- Large Print books
- Audio cassettes and CDs
- Talking books (2 track cassettes)
- Talking books on Daisy CDs
- Plextalk Player
Note: Patrons who wish to borrow Talking Books and Daisy CDs must formally register for the service by submitting a Talking Book Service Eligibility Form to Outreach Services.
Walk-in Service
For patrons who have a reading disability, vision loss or physical disability, which prevents them from reading printed material.

After you have registered with the Outreach Unit we will send your selections to a Library branch for your convenience.
