Web Pages Relating to Disabilities

The Outreach Services Department selects and delivers materials, free of charge, to any resident who is unable to visit the library because of limited mobility due to age, illness, or physical handicap. This service can be arranged on either a temporary or long term basis. We also develop and maintain collections of special books and other materials appropriate for special populations.
