Outreach Services
Sometimes people can't make it in to the Library to get a good book to read or an audio book to listen to due to illness or infirmity. The Library provides Outreach Services to those home-bound older adults who are unable to come to the Library. The Library has partnered with a local volunteer group that serves seniors to bring books to your home.
Contact Denise Reilly at 503-538-7323 or at denise.reilly@ci.newberg.or.us for more information or to sign up.
