Have you found yourself facing surgery or long term illness? Has a disability left you homebound and unable to come into the library? Mechanics’ Institute Library has a program that allows us to mail you books, audiobooks and magazines.
The program is called Outreach for the Homebound and is limited to homebound members who are no longer able to visit the Library due to illness, injury or disability or who are caring for an ill, injured or disabled family member.
To enroll in Outreach, complete the simple form and pay a one-time $25.00 registration fee. Materials are mailed free of charge to members through a special service offered by the U.S. Postal Service. You must supply a short letter signed by your doctor, health care provider, or nurse certifying the condition that makes it necessary for you to receive library materials by mail.
Library materials are mailed to you for a six-week checkout period. You may choose to borrow books, magazines or audiobooks. DVDs and music CDs, because of their fragile nature, are not included in the program.
Simply sign up using our online form or contact Donna Clark at 415.393.0102 and we will have you on your way to home delivered library materials in no time at all!
