With the arrival of the summer season, travel around the Estes Valley is a little trickier, especially for our neighbors with visual limitations, physical challenges, or those caregiving for others, including new parents and childcare providers. If this describes you or someone you care about, consider checking out the free House Calls program.
House Calls brings your public library to you. Twice per month, our friendly volunteers deliver a specially-curated collection of checkouts to patrons’ doorsteps, and bring “completed” items back to the library. It’s as simple as that!
Signing up is quick and easy. House Calls Coordinator Gretel Bock will learn about the types of materials you’re seeking and what genres, authors, and subjects interest you. Then, she’ll select items and add you to the schedule for bi-monthly deliveries.
House Calls extends beyond just books: Non-traditional materials like Library of Things items, Grab & Go kits, print jobs, and other valuable resources are all included in delivery service.
For those who have previously enjoyed our COVID-era Curbside Service, consider House Calls as a replacement that’s even more accessible. Rather than drive to the library and wait in your car, we’ll eliminate a step and deliver directly to you.
Don’t just take it from us: A library patron recently shared, “Dad never used to be a reader but ever since you have been bringing books specifically for him, the first thing he does when he sits down to relax is pick up one of the books. I never thought I’d see my dad reading (except for car repair manuals). But he reads daily now.”
House Calls can improve your life (or the life of someone you know). Discover more on the House Calls page of our website.
