Outreach Services offers a full range of library services for residents of these sites. Each month, the staff brings the bookmobile, makes door-to-door visits to deliver library materials, and mails out library materials to residents. Residents can submit requests for materials and/or staff will select items according to the individual resident's reading, listening and/or viewing interests.
We have access to the extensive collection of regular-print and large-print books, audiobooks, movies and music CDs contained within the Tulsa City-County Library System.
