Phone: (330) 399-8807, ext.118

The Homebound Service provides regular delivery of library materials to individuals who are not able to use their local library. Service is offered to the elderly, the physically handicapped, the visually impaired, short-term shut-ins, and to those individuals who do not have easy and/or conventional access to their local library. Patrons are visited monthly in their place of residence - private home, nursing home, convalescent home, or retirement complex.

Large Type Materials

A collection of Large Type materials is maintained for Homebound users. Patrons may borrow regular and Large Type books, audio recordings, magazines, Large Type Reader's Digest and Guideposts magazines, and magnifying equipment.

Talking Books

Homebound also serves as a sub-lending agency of the Cleveland Public Library for Talking Book Service. The federal government, through the Library of Congress, provides this service at no charge to eligible citizens. After completing a special application with the assistance of the Mobile Services staff, qualified users will be supplied with a special Talking Book cassette player which plays "books" and "magazines" recorded at a special slow speed. Materials are sent directly in the mail; there is no postage fee for returning them. Call Homebound Service at (330) 399-8807, ext. 118 for information.
