Outreach Services

The Mansfield/Richland County Public Library takes materials and programs into the community to serve those unable to come to the Library.

Lobby Stops

MRCPL Outreach staff brings curated library materials (large print books, audiobooks, CDs, and DVDs) to senior living facilities on a monthly basis for residents to check out.  Call 419-522-2780 for more information on Lobby Stops.

Programs

Library staff will provide programs regarding library services, resources, or materials for groups of all ages. Story times at child care centers, programs at assisted living centers, early literacy training for parents and teachers, or book talks for students are some of the programs available. Call 419-521-3101 for information on programs.

Books By Mail
