If you reside in the Lorain Public Library's Service District and are unable to visit the library because of a continuing illness or disability, the library will visit you, free of charge. Residential service staff regularly visits residents to drop off and pick up library materials. Please call Outreach Services at the Main Library for more information about this service or email the staff. Books by Mail Books by Mail is available to residents of Lorain County who do not live in the service of another library system in Lorain County, such as Amherst, Avon Lake, Elyria, Grafton, Wellington, Oberlin or Vermilion. Those who are eligible for the service have access to magazines, books, pamphlets, pictures, maps, and audio cassettes via the U.S Postal Service.
Materials are postage-free, in large, red zippered canvas bags.
Users can request books and magazines by phone or mail, and the request normally will be filled within five days.
