Brooks Free Library provides free delivery of library materials to Harwich residents who are permanently or temporarily unable to visit the library due to illness, physical disability, lack of either transportation or a caregiver, or any other reason that makes it either difficult or impossible to get to the library.
To receive the Books on Wheels service, please contact the library at 508-430-7562 ext. 1. Once we have your information, a staff member or volunteer will contact you, explain the program, and get you set up for delivery, including making sure you have a current CLAMS library card. We will create a record of your preferences of both favorite authors as well as types of materials – i.e. large or regular print, periodicals, audiobooks, music, DVDs. The library also delivers materials to patrons who are blind or are experiencing vision loss.
Volunteers deliver the selected material to patrons twice monthly– on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month, and pick up all returns.
