If you can no longer visit a KRL branch because of age or disability you may qualify for Outreach Services. Outreach Services provides regular visits to homebound patrons in their homes, at care centers, in group homes and retirement communities. An Outreach Specialist will bring you books, audiobooks, large print books and library materials according to your needs. Applications are available at any KRL branch or call 360-405-9123 to request one.
