The Orange Public Library offers a Homebound Delivery Service, which brings library materials to patrons who cannot get to the library. This free service is for patrons in the City of Orange who are handicapped, elderly, chronically ill or temporarily ill or injured with a confinement expected to last three months or more.
The program provides person-to-person contact between homebound cardholders and volunteers who make monthly deliveries of books and other library materials to patrons' homes. Materials are selected based on each homebound patron's interests.
The volunteer and homebound patron set up a delivery schedule that is convenient for both of them. Volunteers give their own time (about four hours a month is average) to serve the homebound.
Volunteers are needed for both selecting and delivering materials to homebound patrons.
If you are interested in participating in the program as a volunteer, please contact the library's Homebound Delivery Service Coordinator at 714.288.2471.
