Auxiliary officers are pictured with Bob Courtway, known as “Library Bob”. Bob oversees the loaning out of hospital equipment at the library. The Auxiliary thanked Bob for being at the library most every week day from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. by surprising him with this luxurious office chair. Bob is more than happy to show you where the Auxiliary’s hospital equipment is in the basement of the library and help sign out the equipment. There is no charge for use of our hospital equipment and you can keep it as long as necessary. Some of the equipment offered include crutches, walkers, commodes, canes, toilet risers, tub stools, wheelchairs, and hospital bed. If there is anything you would like us to purchase for the loan closet, please let us know. You may contact Bob at the library at 584-2181 with questions.
