Services

Home Delivery

If you are unable to visit the library in person, apply for our Home Delivery Service. If illness, injury, weather concerns, transportation difficulties, or any other obstacles prevent you from coming to the library, this service is for you.

The library will process your application and work with you to determine what kinds of materials you want and how to get your materials requested and delivered. Staff deliver materials on a weekly basis.

The Home Delivery program provides extended loan periods and no overdue fines. Each participant must register for a library card if s/he does not already have one.

Please allow 1 to 2 weeks for your first home delivery. If you have items currently on hold that you would like delivered, please contact the library at 508-624-6900, ext. 2
