Library Delivery Service

Do you know someone who is housebound, either temporarily due to illness or surgery or due to a permanent condition? Would they benefit from a regular delivery of library books, DVDs, etc.?

The Lincoln Public Library provides a delivery service for those who cannot come to the library. Library staff will prepare a list of items based on the preferences of the recipient. Items will then be delivered by volunteers.

If you know of someone who will benefit from this service, contact Jill at the Fleming (Beamsville) Library, 905-563-7014.
