Outreach Services provides an extensive collection of audio material for those with a verified print disability. We also provide library service for those who cannot come to the library.

We are pleased to offer our Home Reader Service to customers who cannot visit the library due to age, illness or disability that prevents them from leaving their home for more than three months.

We will visit with you at your home or over the phone to register you for a card and determine what materials you like to listen to, watch and read. We will then select materials for you and deliver them directly to your home on a regular schedule.

Service is available to Regina residents of care facilities, and seniors' homes. Outreach Services staff can provide a carefully selected collection of Library materials for use within the facilities that have registered for this service.  We also have recreational activity kits and brain fitness kits for use with small and large groups.
