Senior Homebound
Patron Program

Bexley Public Library selects and delivers books and audiobooks
to a limited number of senior patrons living in the
Bexley City School District who are unable to come to the library.

How Does It Work?

• The Outreach Associate will interview you about your reading preferences. You can request specific titles and authors or give general categories and allow the Library to select items.
• You may request books, large print books, and audio books on CD.
• The Library delivers once a month at a prearranged time. All items must be returned at the next delivery unless you arrange to renew them by calling 614-231-2793. Eligible items may be renewed up to three times; all unrenewed items will be considered lost after 28 days.
• Since you will rely on the Library for pickup and delivery, there are no fines on overdue materials. Patrons will be responsible for all fees associated with lost materials, including fees associated with the Library’s use of a collection agency.
• Repeated loss or damage to library items will result in cancellation of your service.
• With your permission, the Library will keep a record of your reading preferences and items delivered to you. This record is confidential and is only used to help select appropriate and enjoyable materials.
• While Bexley Public Library strives to meet your content preferences, the Library cannot sample all material and therefore cannot guarantee all selections will meet the intended criteria.
• Bexley Public Library may discontinue homebound services at any time.

If you fit all of the criteria listed below, you may submit an application, either online or written, for a senior homebound patron card.
