Homebound Delivery

Have difficulty getting to the Library due to health or mobility problems? Let us come to you with reading, viewing and listening material to enrich your life even when you can’t get out.

Contact: Dorothy Pawlowski 203-438-2282 ext. 1003 dlpawl@ridgefieldlibrary.org


Homebound Delivery Service is available to all residents of Ridgefield who are unable to come to the Library due to disability or health problems. Proof of Ridgefield residence will be necessary to enroll.

  • Service is provided to residents of all ages who meet the criteria.
  • Those with short-term as well as long-term need are welcome.
  • No proof of need from a physician or other referral is required.
  • Most library materials owned by the Ridgefield Library can be requested, including large print books, audiobooks and videorecordings.
  • Library staff conduct an intake interview to learn about a participant’s reading tastes and format preferences. Participants then call the Library when they wish to request a delivery.
  • A volunteer driver is assigned based on schedule and geographic compatibility. Volunteers typically deliver once a week. If the participant is not available, items are left at the door in a colorful, weather-resistant Library tote bag.
