Do you know a reader who can’t get to the Library?
Tell them about the Tigard Library’s Friendly Visitor Program!
The service is free and offered to area residents recovering from an illness or injury, to
persons who no longer
drive, and to people who live in long term care facilities.
Friendly Visitor volunteers have been screened with the Oregon State Police and are ready to bring
you or a loved one large print books, books-on-tape, audio tapes or CDs and more.
Additional Library Outreach services are available through the Washington County
Cooperative Library Services.
For more information about Friendly Visitors or other Outreach services,
please contact Ann-Marie Anderson, Reference Librarian, by email at
annmarie@tigard-or.gov
or by phone at 503-684-6537, ext. 2650.
