This service is for residents of Southgate who are homebound due to age, injury, illness, or disability.
How it works:
Patrons of the Home Service will receive up to 10 items, including books, regular and large print, magazines, DVDs, audiobooks and puzzles.
There are two options for the Home Service:
1) The library staff can gather items for you and a family member, caregiver or friend can pick it up.
2) If you do not have someone to pick up items on your behalf, a library staff member or a volunteer will drop them off at your door.
How to apply:
Call us at 519-923-3248. Library staff will verify your eligibility, tell you which day of the month your deliveries will come, and ask you about your reading interests and needs so that each month we can send you items that you will enjoy.
