Homebound Delivery & Outreach Services
Outreach Services & Homebound Delivery
Our Homebound Delivery and Outreach Services help ensure that individuals who are unable to visit the library in person can still enjoy reading, learning, and connection through library materials.
Under the supervision of the Circulation Supervisor, a family member, neighbor, or friend can serve as a delivery person to a homebound resident. The delivery person may then select, checkout, deliver, and return library items for the homebound patron. The library card will have an “Outreach” status and is kept at the library during this service period.
If a person does not have a family member, neighbor, or friend that can serve as a delivery person, a library staff member may be able to do the delivery themselves.
To qualify, patrons must:
• Reside within the City of Marshfield or Town of McMillan.
• Have a library card in good standing.
• Be unable to visit the library in person due to a medical or mobility limitation.
This monthly service is offered free-of-charge based on staff availability.
Please contact the Adult Services Supervisor at 715-387-8494 Ext. 2751 or ask about Homebound Delivery & Outreach Services at the Adult Information Desk if this service could be helpful for you.
Outreach to Assisted Living & Nursing Home Facilities
The Everett Roehl Marshfield Public Library will partner with local assisted living and nursing home facilities to provide residents with convenient access to library materials through scheduled outreach visits. Each request for service is evaluated individually to ensure it aligns with library resources and staffing availability. Library staff coordinate regular visits to participating facilities to offer browsing hours where residents can explore, borrow, and enjoy a rotating selection of materials.
To begin outreach service, the facility administrator or their designated outreach contact should reach out to the Adult Services Supervisor at 715-387-8494 Ext. 2751.
