Outreach Services are designed to bring the Library to those who are not able to make it to the physical library location. These services can include library material delivery, and events/programs.

For the individual in our Outreach program;
Each month a volunteer will deliver library materials to the individual’s home. Materials can include large print books, DVDs, audiobooks, magazines, and CDs. These deliveries will be catered to the individual’s preference of genre, author, and number of materials.

For the group in our Outreach program;
Along with a monthly delivery of library materials, our Outreach Coordinator will be able to host a group event in your nursing home, assisted living facility, extended care facility, transition home, etc. Events depend upon the number of participants and their abilities; expect events such as trivia, crafts, board games, and fun creative play.

If you are interested in signing up for Outreach Services, please contact the Outreach Coordinator at 740.852.9543.

We can assist those with visual disabilities by helping them apply for services through VOICEcorps, a reading service that broadcasts daily to individuals with visual, physical and/or learning disabilities. Hear TV listings, program schedules, and any section of the Dispatch and other regional newspapers any time. You may also register for the Ohio Telephone Reader.
