HOME DELIVERY

The library has a group of volunteers who will deliver books, audiotapes and videos to homebound persons. Anyone who cannot come in for a short or long period of time, due to any difficulty, should call and make arrangements for materials to be brought to them. A librarian will choose appropriate titles as requested and check them out using the patron's card in the database. Times of drop off and pickup will be set up by the patron and volunteer.   Please call 508-748-1252 or email Judith Kleven for further details.

INTERNET TUTORIALS

The staff offers teaching sessions on public computers in both use of iBistro (the catalog) and the Internet, on an as-needed basis. However, for a more comprehensive experience of the many ways to search for information, we recommend contacting us, in order to set up an individual tutoring session tailored to the patron's specific level of expertise and need. Sessions usually last about 45 minutes.  Please call 508-748-1252 or email Judith Kleven for further details.

SUNDAY OPENINGS

From the first Sunday in October until the last in April, the library is open on Sundays 1-4 p.m. These hours are offered so that patrons may use our resources at a more leisurely pace. A staff member is on hand to assist with reference and reader's advisory questions. Three Sunday papers are available to peruse, as well as for crossword puzzle copying. Students are encouraged to come in to finish assignments which may be due early in the week. Also, young children can always find a drop-in craft project provided just for their enjoyment. There's something for everyone.
