Book Buddies
At Way Public Library, home delivery is not a thing of the past!  The Library’s volunteer Book Buddy program offers delivery service for homebound individuals.  We know that security is important, so we screen all of our volunteers.  We offer a flexible delivery schedule at no cost.  Book Buddies are not even charged late fees, ever.  Honest.  You tell us what you would like to have delivered, and we’ll accommodate your needs.  And, we can even offer suggestions, if you need them.  If you would like to be the recipient of a Book Buddy, or if you’re interested in volunteering as a Book Buddy, please contact Wendie Kiskadon, (419) 874-3135 extension 107, or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
