Outreach/Bookmobile 

Our Outreach program assists people throughout Nicholas County who need extra help using Library services, including:

• Home-bound adults and those in nursing or retirement centers

• Children and young people in day care centers and Head Start programs

• Disabled community members

• Local schools and organizations requesting Outreach Programming

Materials available for delivery include large print, hardback, paperback, and audio books, as well as back-issue magazines and children's books. If home-bound, a patron's eligibility is at the discretion of the library, due to mileage to and from a home and budgetary constraints.
