This service provides delivery of library materials to customers who are unable to get to the library for health or physical reasons and have no one in the household who can pick-up and deliver books for the homebound person. The service can be given on either a temporary or permanent basis. Materials are selected according to customer preferences listed on the application form, checked out, delivered, and picked up by a library staff person or community volunteer.
Delivery is provided by the library to serve the community more comprehensively.
The library's Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator will contact active customers the day, or the day before, materials are due to see if items need to be renewed, to gather any specific requests for materials, and to determine a general delivery time. This library staff person or a volunteer will pick-up and deliver library materials and take any additional requests for the next delivery time. Deliveries are done mainly on Mondays and Wednesdays. Other days may be available if the customer is not available due to standing medical appointments such as kidney dialysis, etc. Renewals can be done only if there are no requests from other customers for the book.
