Harrison County Public Library wishes to outreach its services, materials and resources to Harrison County residents who may otherwise not have access or may not be aware of the availability of those services. To do this, the library is expanding home delivery of materials to shut-ins and residents with limited mobility. "Books to Go" will also expand the educational programs that would be of interest to adults in the county.

Every person who qualifies will receive a "get-acquainted" visit from a library staff member to review reading preferences and to identify any special needs the patron may have, such as large print books or books-on-tape. The homebound patron also completes a questionnaire, either verbally or in writing, on favorite books, authors, and areas of interest that will be kept on file at the library. Materials will be selected based on patron preference, request, and availability. To sign-up please contact Sue King at 738-4110 or email sue@hcpl.lib.in.us. An in-home visit will be scheduled at your convenience.
