The Book Express

In partnership with the Holden Senior Center, Gale Free Library delivers library materials to Holden citizens who are housebound.  The library personally selects books that are of interest to the participating reader and they are delivered by a Senior Center volunteer.  This program is perfect for those who are temporarily or permanently housebound and would like to receive library books or audio books.  This is a free service, available only to Holden residents.

To register for The Book Express, please call Gale Free Library at (508) 829-0228 and ask for Beth.
