Library by Mail - Outreach Services is a specially-funded service for Mechanics' Institute members who are unable to visit the Library due to illness, injury, or disability, or who are caring for ill, injured, or disabled family members.
The Library by Mail program provides books, DVDs, music CDs, magazines, and audiobook CDs by postal mail to members who can no longer visit the Library. This program is strictly limited to registered participants and can be activated upon the completion of a simple form and a one-time registration fee of $25. If a Mechanics’ member is unable to afford the registration fee, it can be waived by contacting 415-393-0107 or by emailing the Library Director.
Materials are mailed free of charge to members through a special service offered by the U.S. Postal Service. All library materials circulate to registered program members for six weeks. Participants are permitted four items per request, including books, DVDs, music CDs, magazines, and audiobook CDs.
To register for this program, please complete the registration form or contact Cherilyn at 415-393-0101 or [email protected]. We will have you on your way to home-delivered library materials in no time.
If you'd like to contribute resources or to assist with this program, contact 415-393-0102 or [email protected].
