The Wawa Public Library's launched a new outreach program.
CEO and Head Librarian Sue Jarrell explains the "Shut-In Outreach Program" is intended to help especially seniors with restricted vision, mobility issues, long-term injury, or illness in Wawa, Hawk Junction, and the Mission who aren't able to get to the library as often as they'd like, or at all.
Jarrell notes a registration form was sent out in a flyer put in mailboxes this week - also available at the library - asking for some basic information.
Jarrell adds magazines, puzzles, and DVDs are also available to be checked out, and notes it's funded by the federal government's "New Horizons" program, which also supports the weekly knitting group for seniors, which meets Thursdays - currently, members are knitting items for CHADWIC Home, after donating past creations to Iris Place and to support people in Ukraine.
