Special Services                      

Homebound Services
Books, magazines, videos and audiocassettes are delivered free through the Homebound service. To use this service, you must be a Simsbury resident temporarily or permanently confined to your home due to illness, disability, or advanced age. Homebound volunteers will select material, deliver it to your home, and return it to the library.

Homebound patrons may call in their requests for library materials on Thursdays from 10 - 11:30 AM by phoning the library at 658-7663 and asking for the Homebound Volunteers. A volunteer will take your call and arrange for the loan of your materials.

To register, please provide the volunteers with your name, address, phone number, and any special reading needs and interests. If you do not own a library card, or it has expired, volunteers can arrange to have a new one made for you.

Large Print Books
The library maintains a large collection of current fiction and non-fiction materials in large print format available for patrons with low-vision needs.

Magnifying and Hearing Aids
Patrons with low-vision and hearing needs may request magnifying aids and use of the library's Electronic Ear aid for use in the library. Inquire at the Reference desk for assistance.

Americans with Disabilities Act
The Simsbury Public Library, along with the Town of Simsbury, has been working to make its building and services available to people with disabilities. Handicapped parking spaces are available at both the upper and lower level parking lots, the adult and children's rooms are easily accessible by elevator, and full bathroom facilities for men/women are located on the library's lower level.
