Get Books By Mail

Canton residents who are unable to physically come to the library due to a permanent or long-term illness or disability, or seniors without a way to get library materials, can sign up to receive books by mail at no cost. 

Through this service, materials are sent directly to your home via the United States Postal Service and pre-paid postage is included to return the items to the library.

Books, both regular and large print, audiobooks, and DVDs can be borrowed through Books By Mail for up to 8 weeks. Some library materials are excluded from this service. Standard library fees will apply for lost and damaged items.
