To find out if your residence is part of this program, please speak with your residence administrator. Enjoy a free, personalized service providing a selection of books chosen to reflect your reading interests. Books are delivered on a monthly basis to your home by a library volunteer. Library Books for Patients at Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital Burlington Public Library, in partnership with the Hospital Auxiliary, want to help make your hospital stay more pleasant. We provide a small collection of popular paperback novels in regular and large print for patients desiring some free recreational reading.
Volunteers visit hospital rooms weekly with a selection of books.
If there is a particular book or information you need that we do not have, we can arrange to borrow it for our registered patrons from another library. Our service is free, but if the lending library charges a fee this will be passed on to you. We will advise you of any charges before completing the ILLO request. The Talking Book collection provides recreational reading for people whose physical or visual disability severely limits their use of standard printed materials. Talking books are unabridged books recorded on cassette tapes.
