Home Services

We provide home delivery service of library materials to disabled, elderly, and homebound customers who are unable to visit the library.

We can provide you with regular and large print books as well as audio books and DAISY discs. We also have a limited number of Victor Readers (DAISY machines) that may be borrowed for up to one year.

Who Is Eligible For Home Services?

Home delivery service is available to any person in Richmond, regardless of age, who is confined to a private residence, other residential facility or hospital because of a physical or visual disability, injury or illness lasting more than three months.

How Does Home Services Delivery Work?

Deliveries are made once a month to each customer on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, depending upon the area of Richmond in which you live. Home Services will provide you with reading material based on your reading interests. We can provide you with large print, regular print, audio books, and/or DAISY discs.

Audio Books

The Library’s Audio Books service provides special library materials such as books on CD and DAISY discs of full-length books.
