Books for Senior Living Communities
The library provides high-quality fiction and nonfiction titles that were once part of the circulating collection to community groups and underserved populations through our Sharebrary program.
- Titles represent a variety of genres (fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, nonfiction, mystery etc.)
- Sharebrary items are limited in quantity and not guaranteed
- If you are interested in books for your community, please contact Rya Fennewald at ryaf@deschuteslibrary.org
