Seniors/Homebound

Are you a senior citizen living within the Westerville City School District? Are you unable to get to the library due to a disability or illness?

Outreach Services

Outreach Services offers free delivery of library materials to persons who are physically unable to visit the library, including the elderly, the disabled, and those who are temporarily incapacitated by illness or accident.

Outreach also offers free delivery to full-time caregivers and any resident of a nursing home, assisted living facility, or senior apartment within the Westerville City School District, regardless of health or mobility. Check out the Delivery Schedule for Senior Housing or contact the Activities’ Director at your facility for more information.
