Webinar: Exploring Library Home Delivery Services
Join us for a discussion with several libraries currently offering home delivery services to their homebound patrons. We'll explore how they distribute materials, how often deliveries are made, how the service is managed, and the challenges they've encountered along the way.
Bring your ideas and experiences—there will be time for open discussion and sharing what your library is doing!
