Home Delivery Service Agreement Form
Philbrick-James Library’s Home Delivery Program is a free service, in partnership with Age-Friendly Deerfield, that delivers library materials such as books, movies and audiobooks to Deerfield residents who are unable to get to the library themselves.
How it works:
Let library staff know by Wednesday at 5:00 pm if you would like a delivery that week. Staff can choose materials for you if you tell them your interests. You can also reserve or request specific books/materials. This can be done online through the catalog, by calling the library at 603-463-7187, or via email to homebounddelivery@philbrickjameslibrary.org
Age-Friendly Deerfield volunteers will deliver new materials and pick up previously delivered items to return to the library. Deliveries are typically made on Thursdays.
What can you borrow?
All circulating library items may be borrowed by Homebound Library Patrons including books, large print books, audiobooks on CD, magazines, DVDs, and jigsaw puzzles from our puzzle swap.
Is there a cost?
No. This service is absolutely free to patrons. The only charges that may occur would be for lost or damaged materials.
Library Card Registration
Homebound patrons who don’t already have a library card may call the library at 603-463-7187 to register for a library card. Proof of Deerfield residency is required.
Homebound Environment Required for Delivery
Patrons requesting homebound delivery services must provide a safe and appropriate environment that enables volunteers to safely get to the front door. If the volunteer assigned for any reason feels that it is unsafe for them to drive in the existing weather conditions or make it safely to the front door, then the service will be canceled and/or rescheduled. Volunteers can reserve the right not to deliver.
