on Wheels
Let us bring the library to you!
Q. What is Books on Wheels?
A. Books on Wheels is a volunteer service
that delivers library materials to patrons who are unable to come to the library
for health or physical reasons. The service may be used on either a
temporary or permanent basis.
Q. What does the service cost?
A. The service is free. Delivery is
provided by trained volunteers.
Q. Who is eligible?
A. Eligible patrons are residents in the
Victor and Farmington area who cannot getto the library for reasons such as
illness, injury or handicap. The Victor Free Library serves residents of
the Victor Central School District.
Q. How does the service work?
A. After you are signed up for Books on
Wheels, you can set up a regular schedule for pick-up and delivery with your
volunteer. It is possible to request specific titles and authors or rely
on the volunteer to bring a small supply of books, audio tapes or magazines.
Q. What is available for borrowing?
A. Regular and large print books, paperback
books, magazines, and books on tape or CD. Almost anything you would find
in a typical library visit.
Q. How long may I keep materials?
A. You and the Books on Wheels volunteer will
set up a schedule that works for you. Normally we schedule visits every
three weeks. Items can be renewed by phone if necessary, provided there
are no other patron requests for the materials. The patron is responsible
for any lost materials.
Q. How do I start this service?
A. Simply call one of the volunteer
coordinators to set up an initial visit. At that visit we will ask you for
information about your reading preferences and any limitations that will affect
your reading materials.
