Let us bring the library to you!

Our Mobile Customer Service Specialist visits more than 35 retirement residences each month, bringing print and audio-visual materials, reference and reader’s advisory services, and other requested materials to hundreds of residents.

Extending service to those unable to visit the library

Each year, Spokane Public Library provides Outreach Services to hundreds of people who could not otherwise visit the library. We make monthly visits to facilities throughout Spokane, as well as provide services to homebound individuals. To many, this vital link to library services means greater enrichment and a better quality of life.

Spokane Public Library is pleased to offer these services to anyone who qualifies. For more information, contact Customer Service at 509-444-5300 or send us an email.

 

Who qualifies for Outreach Services?

Individuals who are confined to their homes for 90 days or more are eligible for library service by mail. Homebound customers need only pay the cost of return mail – at the library rate! Visually impaired customers receive free mailing.
