Meetings are open to all members and are usually brief and informal. Many people cannot use the library because they are confined to a convalescent home. The Friends shut in program addresses this need through two volunteer programs. Book Runners volunteers transport books to people in local convalescent homes and later return them to the library. A second program places volunteer readers in convalescent homes.
Readers often become devoted to their audience, sometimes serving in one home for many years.
