How does it work?
- When you receive notice that your item is on the hold shelf for you, it will include a link to this page to request delivery, if you prefer.
- Deliveries occur Tuesdays and Fridays between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM. You must submit your request for delivery by 4:30 PM the day before.
- The item will be packaged and delivered on the next delivery day after you submit the form.
- The delivery person will knock on your door and hand the items to you. The items will be left on your doorstep if you do not answer the door.
- When the delivery is completed, you will receive a confirmation email.
Returning items
- You may return items yourself to the library or request a pickup.
- A flyer with information about pickup service will be included in every delivery.

Library Material Delivery Request
Your name, email, phone number and library card number will auto-fill if you are logged in. You will still need to type in your address.
"*" indicates required fields
-
If you have other items on the hold shelf on the day an item is to be delivered to you, we will also grab those other items and send them along.
-
Your items will be on the Hold Shelf for you until 4:30PM the day before delivery. You are welcome to check them out yourself if it ends up being more convenient for you.
-
After you submit the request form, your pickup and/or delivery will be scheduled for the next available upcoming day based on the time you submitted the form. We do not pickup/deliver on days the library is closed.
Pickups and deliveries occur Tuesdays and Fridays between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM. The list of planned pickups/deliveries is sent to the courier the day before at 4:30 PM. If you request before that time, you will be scheduled for the next day; if you request after that time, you will be scheduled for the following regular day.
For example:
- If you submitted the form before 4:30 PM on a Monday, your pickup will be scheduled for Tuesday.
- If you submitted the form at or after 4:30 PM on a Monday, your pickup will be scheduled for Friday.
You will receive a reminder email the day before.
For pickups, please be sure to have your items packaged, labeled and on your doorstep by 10 AM.

We are using a courier, Reliable Delivery, who will carry an ID badge. The pickup/delivery person is not a library employee.
