Patrons receive their materials in our canvas HomeBound Service bags, with the patron’s name on a tag attached to the bag. Bags are washed between deliveries. If patrons would like to change their reader profile or are dissatisfied with the items they are receiving from the library, they can send us a note when they return the items, or simply give us a call. We welcome feedback. Patrons also have the option of downloading eBooks and eAudiobooks from Overdrive directly onto a smartphone or other device. The Idaho Talking Book Service, administered through the Idaho Commission for Libraries, is another possibility for patrons who are visually impaired.
Winter can be rough for many people, with the sun setting early and the roads icy. It helps to have entertainment: books for pleasure and information, and a good movie or TV series to watch. Please remember that the library is here for you, even if you can’t come to us. Our seasoned and dedicated HomeBound Service staff members look forward to serving you. Olmstead is the Adult Services librarian at the Lewiston City Library.
