Library Services to the Homebound
This program is designed to provide library materials to anyone who is a resident of Pasadena and is confined to their home or a convalescent center due to illness, injury or disability.  Each homebound patron is individually profiled and matched with a volunteer on a one-to-one basis, with the exception of patrons in retirement and convalescent homes that receive services from a volunteer. The volunteer will visit the library and select reading and other materials for a homebound person.  Materials include large-type books, books-on-tape and music cassettes.   Reference desk personnel are available to assist in filling the patron's special requests. Once library materials have been selected and checked out using the patron's own library card, volunteers will then contact their patron and deliver the books.
