Outreach Service

WPL serves visually impaired clients and provides delivery to clients in homes and institutions who are unable to visit the library because of a disability or illness. Special materials include talking books, large print books, videos and spoken word cassettes. Currently the WPL delivers to Legion Towers, Special Care Home, Heritage Place, Bison Manor, Crocus Plains, and Hilltop Manor.

The CCT was donated by the CNIB with funding provided by the United Way.
