Lobby Stops
Activity Directors or other service coordinators for older adult communities can contact the Bookmobile Department to set up monthly on-site browsing opportunities for residents. Bookmobile staff will bring a curated selection of print and A/V items to each lobby stop. Residents can also apply for library cards, request items and pick up holds at lobby stops. Lobby stops usually last for about an hour, and scheduling is based on the availability of Bookmobile resources.
Deposit Collections
If you prefer to let your community members browse at their leisure and you have a staff member who can be designated as point person, the Bookmobile Department can provide deposit collections on a monthly basis. Bookmobile staff will work with you to determine what mix of items will best serve your community then collect old items and deliver fresh items once a month.
Selection and Delivery
People with mobility issues can choose to have library materials delivered on a monthly basis. Bookmobile staff use patron requests and suggestions to assemble a small collection of materials each month for each individual patron. Patrons can return their items to a library or have them ready for Bookmobile staff to pick up the following month.
Book Clubs
The Bookmobile Department will work with book discussion groups at senior communities to determine how we can choose, collect and deliver books to meet your needs.
