Dummerston Cares is pleased to announce its newest program, Books on Wheels, a free outreach service available to any Dummerston resident who is unable to visit Dummerston Community Center and Library in person! Beginning this fall, Books on Wheels will give Dummerston residents access to fiction and non-fiction books, large print books, mysteries, DVDs, and much more! In addition to weekly delivery of library materials, Books on Wheels volunteers will be happy to show residents how to access all the many materials online, including streaming music, game, and video services, and audiobooks on tape and CD. You can also learn how to place interlibrary loan requests for material not currently held by the Library, which has been so limited in space until very recently.
Any resident of Dummerston who is confined to home due to limited mobility, illness, injury, lack of transportation, temporary or permanent disability, or some other reason is eligible for home delivery of library materials. Residents may order specific items ahead from the Library, by phone or online, or have items selected for them. Most library materials can be checked out for 3 weeks, and renewed twice. Home deliveries and pickups will be made on a weekly basis.
All you need is a library card, which is free and easy to get by calling our wonderful new Library Director Erin Riley, at 802-258-9878!
You can sign up for Books on Wheels at the same time, or, if you already have a library card, email dummerstonvtlibrary@gmail.com.

Books on Wheels is a partnership between Dummerston Cares and the Dummerston Community Center and Library. For more information about this and other Dummerston Cares’ Programs, please call the Cares Message Line at 802-257-5800.
