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
