ATHOL — The Athol Public Library has long provided home delivery of books and other library materials to Athol residents who are homebound. They are now expanding that service to include caregivers, who often are unable to leave their family members alone long enough to visit the library and select items.

Are you home bound with a long term illness? Do you have difficulty getting out and about because you provide care for a family member who is homebound? Are you a resident of Athol?

Would you like to have library materials brought to your door?

If you answered yes to these questions, Athol Public Library’s home delivery service may interest you. To apply for this program, contact the library at 978-249-9515 for an application form.

Library at Your Door patrons receive a delivery of specially selected materials once every three weeks.

This service is made possible by the town of Athol Senior Tax Abatement program
