Homebound Delivery
Qualified cardholders can have library materials delivered right to their doors if they are unable to come to the library due to illness or disability.
Most materials check out for three weeks. Magazines and DVDs under 200 minutes check out for one week, and each customer may have up to 200 physical items checked out at any one time. The late fee for most materials is 20 cents per day, with a three‑day grace period.
Print on the library's public printers during library hours regardless of device, network or location. Large documents and PDFs may take a few minutes to print; jobs not picked up within two hours of being sent will be deleted.
