WORDS ON WHEELS

Words on Wheels = Home Delivery

Are you or is someone you know a resident of Torrance who cannot get to the library?

Would you like library books and/or listening materials delivered to you?

WOW delivery service is available to adults and children, and volunteers can deliver to private or group homes, retirement facilities, hospices, and hospitals.

Torrance Public Library has volunteers who will deliver Library items such as books (including large print), audio-books, music CDs and Playaways to your home. Portable CD players are available to loan.

Your assigned volunteer will select material and schedule regular delivery and pick-up times at your convenience.
Audio books and machines from the Braille Institute are also available.
