LEWISTON – Lewiston Public Library is relaunching its Outreach Program to deliver books and other materials to homebound residents who otherwise could not access the library and its resources.
The library is accepting new and returning patrons who would like to use the service on a regular or temporary basis.
The free program is open to any resident of Lewiston who is physically unable to come into the library building. Those in either private settings or group facilities are welcome to apply.
Delivery is once a month and only items from the Lewiston collection will be available to borrow, up to 30 per check out. The library collection includes more than 150,000 books, movies, audiobooks, magazines, and music CDs, and every library user has free access to online content, including e-books, e-audiobooks, streaming video, language learning, and more.
“Maintaining equitable access to Lewiston residents is an important part of the library’s mission in the community,” Lending Services Librarian Katherine Webber said. “We are thrilled to again offer an option for homebound patrons to more easily enjoy the library’s physical collection.”
