LIBRARY SUV

Calvert Library Mobile Services SUV
If you see this vehicle out and about that means a librarian is on their way to visit a homebound customer or a licensed family child care provider. 

Eligible homebound customers receive monthly delivery of new materials straight to their door. CLMS staff do extensive readers advisory with each customer to ensure they receive the right kind of books, movies, magazines–you name it!–every month.  

Visits to licensed family child care providers include exchange of curated preschool books as well as a 20 minute storytime. Early literacy and school readiness are some of the building blocks of a strong community.
