Let us know the number and ages of your kids, topics you are interested in, or let’s brainstorm some great resources. We can deliver books, dvds, audio books, games, and puzzles!

Home Delivery
If you or someone you know is housebound and unable to visit the Library for a period of 2 months or longer; call (802) 223-3338 or email to find out about home delivery.
We will do our best to arrange pickup and delivery, and we're happy to help choose books that you might enjoy reading.

Book Exchanges
Outreach maintains book exchanges at the following locations: Red Hen Bakery (Middlesex), the Berlin Mall, (Berlin) the Elm Street Laundromat (Montpelier), and the Post Office Cafe (Worcester).
Books exchange materials are give-away books that do not need to come back to the library.
Book Groups
The Kellogg-Hubbard Library Outreach Book Group will be reading There, There by Tommy Orange beginning in mid-March. Enrollment deadline is March 8th. Limited to 20 participants. Contact Heather Kralik if interested: outreachkhl@kellogghubbard.org.
Story Time On-the-Road
Every spring and fall we take story time on the road to venues in each of our member towns. In addition to a read-aloud, we offer give-away books and craft time! We had to cancel our spring 2020 storytimes on the road, but we're hoping to reschedule for small outdoor venues in the summer!

The Kellogg-Hubbard Library promotes pre-literacy skills through its outreach service to child care providers. Volunteers choose and deliver books to area day cares, often leading story times.
