Bringing the library to you

What is the Home Library Service?

Home Library Service is a no charge service that delivers library resources to persons who are unable to visit the library for reasons of:

• disability
• infirmity
• recovery after surgery or prolonged illness

It is also a service made possible, in large part, courtesy of volunteers of the Stratford Public Library.

How does the service work?

• we meet with you to identify and record your preferences for the types of library materials you would most enjoy
• we select materials according to your preferences and deliver them to you in your home
• standard 3-week loan period applies, with some exceptions
• volunteers are assigned to manage both the delivery and pick up of loaned library materials

What resources are available to me?

• books, available in:
  - large print
  - regular print
  - audio compact disc (CD): regular CD, MP3-formatted CD, CNIB / CELA formatted CD
• movies (DVD)
• music (CD)
