Spokane County Library District Outreach Services Outreach Services staff take library services to those in the community who are unable to visit Spokane County Library District facilities. Services to Homebound Customers Seniors with limited mobility and customers who are confined to their home for three months or longer due to illness or disability may receive library materials by mail. This includes regular or large print books, magazines, audio books, music cassettes or CDs, and CD-ROM software.
Staff can fill a special request or choose materials to match a customer's preferences.
Homebound customers can also receive a quarterly newsletter that includes an annotated list of recent arrivals in large print. Services to Residential Facilities Outreach services staff visit many nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and group homes once a month to deliver library materials to residents, recommend books, and take requests. Facilities maintain a minimum number of readers and level of use, and must agree to Outreach Service minimum requirements. Storytimes offered in licensed child care facilities and preschools introduce children to the library and encourage them to become regular readers and library users. Small collections of library materials on specific subjects are also available to the facilities.
