~Book Delivery Program~

(Winslow residents only)

Library volunteers choose books, based on a patron's reading preference, from the large print or regular collections and deliver those books to "shut-in" patrons at his/her home or residence facility. Usually the same volunteer works with the patron on a regular basis and performs the service approximately every other week or as needed. Call the library for details at 872-1978.
