#21: Serve the people who can't come in

Spend a little time thinking about how your library can serve people who aren’t physically capable of visiting the library. Can you start or expand a books by mail service? Can you allow people to sign up for cards online, perhaps by submitting a scan of a photo ID, and use those cards to access your digital collection? Can you take a box of books and a laptop to a nearby senior center and do card signup and checkout on the spot? If it’s not feasible to circulate library materials this way but you do receive donated items that you don’t always add to the collection, set some of the nicer ones aside and give them to a local apartment complex, assisted living facility, or other location to start or restock a community collection.
