Are you, or is someone you know, unable to visit the library because of a temporary or permanent medical or physical condition?
Our Homeward Bound Program is available to all Library district patrons who are unable to come to the library. You may tell us what materials you want, or our Outreach Librarians will select for you books (in large or regular print), audiobooks, or other audiovisual materials based on your interests. Whatever you enjoy, we will see that your library materials are “homeward bound” to you. Materials are delivered and picked up by a library courier once a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
This is a free and confidential service.
To find out if you are eligible for the Homeward Bound Program, please contact Nancy Morcerf, Branch Librarian, or Denise Campbell, Outreach Librarian, at the East Northport Library (261-2313) or send in a completed application.
