Homebound Outreach

Books, audiobooks on CD, and DVDs can be delivered to patrons who are unable to come to the library due to health or disability. We provide this service both to individual patrons and senior care facilities. Homebound outreach services vary depending on the needs of each individual and organization. Participants of this service will receive high-level readers advisory service, in which the library staff will gain an understanding of the reader’s preferences and make sure to select items that are specific to their needs. Please call us at 816-776-5104 to enroll or find out more about this service.

The Ray County Library’s Reserve a Librarian

The Reserve-a-Librarian service allows you to spend a 30-minute session with a librarian who can offer assistance tailored to your needs. This will allow you to reserve a librarian for an uninterrupted one-on-one, face to face, 30-minute session. This service requires 3-day advance notice and requests for specific times are dependent on staff availability. Appointments are limited to 30 minutes in length to allow staff to serve the greatest number of residents. To set up a convenient time please contact us at 816-776-5104.
