You can obtain books in braille, as audiobooks, in large print, as an e-book or e-audiobook, or as a Playaway or Wonderbooks in the library catalog. If the Marlborough Public Library doesn't own it, we can obtain it through our network.
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
Options on how to register:
You can apply in person at the library at the Welcome Desk. Please bring your library card (if you have one) or a form of ID & address to create a library account. Please call the Circulation Department at 508-624-6900 ext. 2 with any questions.
