Outreach Services brings the experience of the library and its resources to people in the community. We reach out to those who are unable to visit a library as well as those who have traditionally not accessed library services. We promote the library's resources and services to newcomers, Aboriginal peoples, literacy groups and learners, and seniors.

This community-based program brings reading, learning and books to people in their own community spaces. A

The Homebound Library Service is for individuals who are unable to visit a Winnipeg Public Library location due to illness, infirmity or disability and have no one to access the Library on their behalf. The Service relies on volunteers to deliver books to registered Homebound readers. To apply for Homebound Library Service, contact the Outreach Library Assistant at 204- 986-5530.

If you are interested in volunteering to make homebound deliveries, phone 311.

Institutions such as nursing homes and residences are welcome to borrow from the library large deposits of books for up to four months at a time. These deposits are selected by library staff with pickup and delivery by the institution. The institution is financially responsible for the books and their return. For more information on deposits, contact the Outreach Library Assistant at 204-986-5530.

Outreach librarians are available to present to newcomer/EAL classes, literacy classes, seniors and Aboriginal organizations promoting the use of the library. (Go to the For Newcomers and EAL page for more!) We will travel anywhere within Winnipeg to present on using the library, our collections and services, using our website, databases and special topics as suitable. For more information or to book (subject to availability), contact Outreach Librarians Chris (204-986-6689) or Monique (204-986-6475).
