Would you like a Book Buddy to bring you books from the Lexington Public Library?
The Lexington Public Library offers a free service called Book Buddies that allows homebound adults in Fayette County to receive library items in their home with the help of a volunteer. The volunteer will deliver and return library materials for their assigned Book Buddy.
Book Buddies is more than just a one-time delivery of items. Customers are matched with a volunteer who will deliver and return library materials on a regular basis.
