How does it work?
- A member of the library staff will call to talk with you about what you like to read, what type of items you want to borrow, and to discuss a delivery schedule.
- We will then schedule a time to come to your home to drop off the materials.
- Partway through the lending period, a a library staff member will contact you to choose a date for your next delivery and to find out what items you want to borrow next.
- Then a library staff member will come to your house to drop off the new items and pick up the items you had borrowed previously.
- We'll keep the schedule going as long as it works for you!
