HomeBound Patrons - Information and Application
This Home Service Program provides patrons with special needs, the homebound and the physically impaired, a personal one-on-one service to meet their informational, educational and recreational requirements.  Patrons participating in this program may check out materials from the same wide variety of books and materials made available to the general public.

In an effort to better serve the county, the Saline County Library has established an Outreach Service for the homebound of all ages.  Library materials can be delivered directly to the home or room of the patron.  This service is available to those who can't utilize traditional library services or  it would cause an undue hardship to do so.

Specific materials may be requested and/or the Homebound Coordinator will make selections from general materials based on the patrons' interests and needs.  Large print and audio material are available for the visually impaired.

All users must have a library card!
Nursing Home
Nursing Home patients have the right to utilize library services through this program.  The Outreach Coordinator will visit the room of each patient who wishes to receive reading material.  The individual patient will be issued a library card and will be responsible for the care and return of all material.
HomeBound Students
HomeBound students may be recommended for this service by their teachers.  They must have a library card. The Outreach Coordinator will take specific material on subjects being studied and requested by the teacher and/or student.  Recreational reading will also be made available.  The student may utilize this service until her/she is able to return to school.
