Home delivery is also available for short-term illness or accident patients.

Homebound residents can choose from a number of different formats: audio books, large and regular print books, paper backs, magazines, and CD. The library also carries materials in english and french.
Is there a fee for this program?
This service is provided FREE to Greater Sudbury residents. Also, since the library schedules the pick up of the materials, you cannot accrue overdue charges. You will be responsible for any loss or damages to library materials you borrow.
