library to go (homebound)
What is the Library to Go (Homebound Services) Program:
Library to Go is a delivery program using RFL employees and caregivers to get library materials to homebound residents.
History:
The Library to Go Program (formerly known as the Jean Huebner Homebound Program) began as a memorial to RFL Board President Jean Huebner after her passing in 2004. Although the name has changed the Library to Go Program is still dedicated to her service and name. Since its inception the program has served hundreds of Rutland residents
Who Is Eligible?
Homebound patrons within the City of Rutland are eligible for a monthly delivery of books and other library materials. Patrons must have an active library card from the Rutland Free Library.
How Often Are Materials Delivered?
Deliveries are made the second week of each month at no cost to the receiving patron. Caregivers bring library materials to the patron and collect the materials from the previous month. Failure of patrons to return items borrowed in previous months may result in future restrictions for borrowing library materials.
