What Our Customers Have To Say

“I don’t know what I would do without Home Delivery Services. I use to visit the library on a weekly basis and I was involved in a book discussion group at the library. When I began to receive oxygen, I was no longer able to go to the library. Home Delivery Services provided me with my favorite leisure activity, reading. Thank you.”

“I love Wednesdays and my new supply of books! The Home Delivery program is an enormous blessing for readers who have mobility problems.”

“I’m thankful for the Home Delivery Services that your library has. I read 3-4 books a week. I am amazed that the Library provides this service and that your program is so successful in bringing the books I have requested. I enjoy sharing about some of the books I’ve read.”

“Home Delivery means so much to me—it’s my cup of heaven. It’s wonderful and a real plus for the community. Books are my cup of tea, I get so wrapped in reading, I don’t even have to watch TV.”

“I am very appreciative of the home delivery of books from the library. The staff gathers my choices and delivers them when available. Because of my disability, it became difficult for me to navigate the walk from the parking lot to the front entrance. And then walking to the rear for books. So when I was apprised of home delivery, I immediately signed up. I have been very pleased with the program and the staff is always courteous and helpful!”

“This service has been a godsend. I have always enjoyed my visits to the library, but due to my failing health, I was no longer able to come. The Circulation Department told me about Home Delivery and I can not thank you enough for this service.”
