Ventura County Library system is preparing to implement curbside services.  

State guidelines for retail curbside pick-up were modified last week to allow libraries to provide curbside pick-up of materials, and libraries across the county have begun to reopen these limited services.

There are currently two meal programs offering qualifying seniors three meals a day, delivered. The Ojai Restaurant and HELP of Ojai Collective is delivering 3 restaurant meals per day to valley seniors 65 and over, living alone and not receiving any Federal food assistance.
