00:00:01,066 --> 00:00:04,492
Hello! Thank you for visiting to learn more about
2
00:00:04,492 --> 00:00:08,324
the Medina County District Library Outreach Services Department
3
00:00:08,324 --> 00:00:10,604
and our Home Delivery Service.
4
00:00:10,604 --> 00:00:12,614
If you can't come to the library,
5
00:00:12,614 --> 00:00:14,723
we will bring the library to you
6
00:00:14,723 --> 00:00:17,468
and all of our services are free to use.
7
00:00:18,174 --> 00:00:21,657
Individuals can get a monthly delivery of regular print,
8
00:00:21,657 --> 00:00:25,867
large print, audiobooks, movies, music and more!
9
00:00:25,867 --> 00:00:29,032
Our service can be short term, or long term
10
00:00:29,032 --> 00:00:33,972
and is available to people in their homes or in senior living communities.
11
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:46,827
Each folder includes an application for service and an interest survey.
12
00:00:46,827 --> 00:00:51,396
This survey lets library staff know how many items you would like each month,
13
00:00:51,396 --> 00:00:57,076
what format you prefer and what genres of books or movies are of interest.
14
00:00:57,076 --> 00:00:59,805
You can circle from a list of favorite authors
15
00:00:59,805 --> 00:01:03,393
or let us know who your favorite authors or actors are
16
00:01:03,393 --> 00:01:06,387
and we can do our best to match your preferences.
17
00:01:06,672 --> 00:01:11,410
The folder also includes additional brochures with more information
18
00:01:11,410 --> 00:01:15,484
along with a magnet, pencil and a handy notepad.
19
00:01:18,093 --> 00:01:21,891
We have three convenient delivery options available.
20
00:01:21,891 --> 00:01:26,358
The first, is a low or no contact door drop delivery
21
00:01:26,358 --> 00:01:28,602
provided by library staff.
22
00:01:28,602 --> 00:01:30,883
If you are unable to get to the door
23
00:01:30,883 --> 00:01:33,502
or would prefer a no contact delivery
24
00:01:33,502 --> 00:01:38,787
we can arrange a safe location to exchange materials.
25
00:01:41,275 --> 00:01:44,760
Another delivery option is our books-by-mail program
26
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,630
through the US Postal Service at no cost.
27
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:51,356
With this option, materials are delivered directly to your mailbox.
28
00:01:51,356 --> 00:01:52,952
When ready for return
29
00:01:52,952 --> 00:01:55,243
simply turn over the address card
30
00:01:55,243 --> 00:01:58,240
and place the bag in the mail for pickup.
31
00:02:00,510 --> 00:02:04,190
A third option for delivery is our Family member
32
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:06,518
or Book Mate volunteer program.
33
00:02:06,518 --> 00:02:09,599
Library staff can select your materials for pick-up
34
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:11,599
at any of our six locations.
35
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,587
A family member can then exchange your materials
36
00:02:14,587 --> 00:02:17,720
or we can pair you with a Book Mate volunteer
37
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,661
who would have time to sit and visit when exchanging your library materials.
38
00:02:25,035 --> 00:02:29,161
Lobby Stops are a newer service provided by our Outreach Department.
39
00:02:29,161 --> 00:02:31,833
Our bookmobile is equipped with a lift
40
00:02:31,833 --> 00:02:35,067
that allows our library staff to wheel carts of materials
41
00:02:35,067 --> 00:02:39,333
in a variety of formats into a number of Senior Living Communities
42
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:46,166
so residents are able to have a library experience and select their own library materials each month.
43
00:02:48,131 --> 00:02:50,156
Outreach Library staff
44
00:02:50,156 --> 00:02:55,390
are happy to offer a wide variety of programs for those living in Senior Living Communities
45
00:02:55,390 --> 00:02:57,558
within our service area.
46
00:02:57,957 --> 00:03:01,604
Topics can range from Library Services and Book Clubs
47
00:03:01,604 --> 00:03:06,526
or to themes, such as travel, art, music and more.
48
00:03:09,087 --> 00:03:12,303
The library is able to provide Reminiscence Kits
49
00:03:12,303 --> 00:03:14,129
for activity directors
50
00:03:14,129 --> 00:03:18,401
who serve individuals who may be experiencing memory loss.
51
00:03:18,401 --> 00:03:20,968
Each kit includes a DVD
52
00:03:20,968 --> 00:03:27,267
talking point cards, related books and other activities to spark memories.
53
00:03:29,432 --> 00:03:33,162
Another resource is our Talking Book Machine program.
54
00:03:33,162 --> 00:03:38,084
This is a free service provided by The State Library of Ohio in cooperation
55
00:03:38,084 --> 00:03:40,084
with the Cleveland Public Library.
56
00:03:40,084 --> 00:03:43,018
Digitized books are recorded on a flashdrive
57
00:03:43,018 --> 00:03:46,407
for use in a specialized machine with enhanced features
58
00:03:46,407 --> 00:03:51,286
for ease of use by individuals with visual or physical limitations.
59
00:03:51,286 --> 00:03:55,423
Both the machine and the books are sent directly to the person's home
60
00:03:55,423 --> 00:03:58,946
via the US Postal Service.
61
00:04:02,065 --> 00:04:04,184
