Visiting Library Service (VLS)

Through VLS, we arrange the delivery of material to those who are not able to visit the library themselves. The Visiting Library Service (VLS) distributes books and recorded books to individuals, as well as to seniors centers in the city of Waterloo.

Our staff liaison matches a volunteer to the customer. The volunteer visits the customer to learn of their reading preferences, then comes to the Library to select the appropriate books. The books are then checked out on the customer's card for a six-week loan. When arranged, the volunteer will pick up the books, return them to the Library and start the selection process once more.
