If you can’t get to the library because of illness, pregnancy or birth, age, injury, or other reasons, NOPL can bring the library to you! We provide two free service options for Homebound Delivery:
- Holds Only Delivery: The Holds Only service delivers materials you place on hold through the library’s online catalog
- Recommended Reads: This service provides materials selected by NOPL librarians based on your interests. The monthly service delivers and returns books, audiobooks, music, and DVDs.
If you live in the NOPL special district service area, you can sign up by completing an application form, available online or by mail, and mailing it to: Homebound Delivery, NOPL Brewerton, 5440 Bennett St, Brewerton, NY 13029. Or, the form can be dropped off at the NOPL Brewerton, NOPL Cicero, or NOPL North Syracuse branch. Visit www.nopl.org/homebound-delivery for an application and more details or call 315-676-7484.
NOPL also offers a Curbside Holds Pickup service that anyone can use for free. It’s particularly useful for cold or snowy days or even to avoid disturbing a sleeping child in a car seat. You can place a hold on almost any item in the library catalog or call the library to request items. We will send you a notification when your holds are ready, then you call a NOPL branch to schedule a pickup. A staff member will come out to your vehicle to deliver the held items.
