library outreach

Books beyond buildings

Library outreach refers to programs and services that extend beyond a library's physical walls to reach underserved populations.

This includes bookmobiles, visits to schools and nursing homes, literacy programs, and partnerships with community organizations.

The goal is connecting people with library resources who might not otherwise access them: The library's outreach program brings books to homebound seniors.
