If you are a Somerville resident but cannot come to the Library because of a physical disability, they will come to you. They will bring books, videos, magazines, or printouts, or whatever materials they normally loan out. Materials are loaned on a special-services card for six weeks and can be renewed.

This service is available for free to Somerville residents. Call the Central Library at 617-623-5000, ask for the Reference Department, tell them you need Community Services assistance, and let the librarian know what you’re interested in reading, watching, or listening to.

You can also contact Phil Peck at ppeck@minlib.net or call 617-623-5000 ext. 2944 to inquire about this service.
