Library
Connect homebound library patrons with the books, DVDs, and periodicals they love. Each Library Beyond Walls volunteer is matched with a patron who can't get to a branch. After meeting and learning about the patron's preferences, the liaison collects materials from a Marin County Free Library branch and delivers them to the person's home. The ideal volunteer is a good listener, enjoys serving others, and has transportation. Hours: 2 to 4 a month on a schedule agreeable to both volunteer and patron. Staff provides a background check, orientation, and support in selecting library materials.
