1. What is the Library's Outreach and Home Delivery Service?

The Stoughton Public Library strives to make all programs and services accessible to everyone. The Outreach Service of the Stoughton Public Library is a resource for patrons of all ages who, for whatever reason, find themselves homebound and unable to visit the library. Essentially, we bring the library to you!

2. Who is eligible for the home delivery service?

Stoughton residents, of any age, who find themselves homebound for a period of time are eligible for home delivery service.

Besides individual homes, Christine also visits...

• Brookmeadow at Blue Hills
• Stoughton Council on Aging
• La Civita Court
• Rose Forte
• Stoughton Memorial Village
• West Stoughton Village

3. What can I request?

Any circulating library material can be requested through Outreach.  You may request specific titles or Christine will be happy to select materials based on you interests.

4. What programs are offered?

Individual Visits

The Stoughton Public Library offers free delivery of materials with friendly visits to homebound Stoughton residents. Books, audiobooks, magazines and DVDs are delivered on a regular basis by our Outreach Coordinator, Christine Iacobucci at no charge.  We strive to offer the same access to materials that a resident would have when visiting the library in person.

Outreach Services at Senior Housing Complexes

In addition to individual home delivery, Christine actively partners with senior housing complexes. She currently visits Brookmeadow at Blue Hills, La Civita Court, Rose Forte, Stoughton Memorial Village as well as West Stoughton Village to deliver materials to their residents.

Magnifying Device Lending

Stoughton Public Library offers magnifying devices for visually impaired residents. The Optelec is a 17 inch color monitor-magnifying unit. These units allow the user to magnify reading material from 2 to 50 times. These units are delivered to your home and set up by the Outreach Coordinator. They typically go out for 2 months at a time.

5. How do you become an Outreach Patron?
