Outreach Services
What We Do
Schenectady County Public Library's Outreach Services provides recreational and educational library materials to Schenectady County residents of any age who are not able to come to the library due to physical or institutional limitations. This includes those living in senior apartments, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes as well as the homebound. Regular and large print books, audio books, DVDs, and music CDs are delivered to these individuals by personal visits, by family or friends, by mail, or through the Meals on Wheels office. Themed Bi-Folkal Kits and Visiting Kits as well as a Large Print catalog are also available.
