Who is eligible to participate in the Home Delivery Service program?

A Newburyport resident requesting the service is required to have a Newburyport library card in good standing and meet one of the following criteria:

  • Mobility issues which prevent an individual from visiting the Library.
  • Temporary physical limitations (or illness) which prevent an individual from visiting the Library for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 6 months.

Home Delivery status may be permanent or temporary, though winter-only delivery is not available.
