What is Homebound Service?
Homebound Service is a free service provided by the Gloucester County Library System for ill or disabled library patrons who have no other way to get access to library materials. This service is available to residents of the Gloucester County Library System's 14 member communities. Those communities are: Clayton, East Greenwich Township, Elk Township, Glassboro, Greenwich Township (Gibbstown), Harrison Township, Logan Township, Mantua Township, National Park, Newfield, South Harrison Township, Swedesboro, Woodbury Heights, and Woolwich Township.

How does it work?
A Reader's Advisor assists the patron in choosing materials from the thousands of books, videos, compact disks and audiocassettes available in the library's collection. The materials are delivered to the patron by a library volunteer, who will return to pick them up. Items may be borrowed for 4 weeks, and may be renewed for an additional 4-week period if desired.
