Who is eligible

Any Washoe County resident who is unable to travel to the library due to:

  • Temporary or long-term illness
  • Disability
  • Injury
  • Impairment
  • Impaired driving ability

 

How it works

You can reserve items by accessing our online catalog, calling the library, or having librarians select materials for you based on criteria you provide on the enrollment form.

A library representative will deliver them to your home in clear plastic zippered totes. Every four weeks, we will pick up the previously delivered items and deliver new items.

All you need is a Washoe County Library card. If you do not have a library card, we can get one for you.

Please call 775-352-3205, or email us at WCLSHomebound@washoecounty.gov.
