Outreach Services

The Outreach Department works with partner organizations to encourage and enable literacy amongst all members of the community. From bringing books to local nursing homes to hosting programs that meet the community where their need exists, Outreach Services make the library accessible to everyone. We currently deliver Large Print books, DVDs, and audiobooks of all genres to Francis Marion Manor, The Retreat, P.A.C.E and to the Friendship Cafes that meet in Marion and Saltville. We are excited about an upcoming partnership with Mt. Rogers, Smyth County Animal Shelter, and Emory & Henry’s School of Health Sciences for a program known as Shelter Stories. If you represent an organization that serves sectors of the community in need of library services, please contact Kristin Wheeler at kristinw@scplva.net
