The Book Buddy Program is for Homebound Senior Residents of NEMI. This program will allow those individuals that are housebound to access books, and educational kits from the Library with the help from a volunteer.
If you are interested in having books delivered to your home or know someone who could benefit from this program you can contact Suzanne at the library at: nemilibcompass@vianet.ca
If you are interested in volunteering with the program contact Suzanne at the library at: nemilibcompass@vianet.ca
