MFL is proud to offer a Homebound Delivery Service Program for MFL Cardholders who are unable to visit the library due to a temporary or permanent disability.


HOW DOES IT WORK?


After the initial interview, our staff will put together a package based on your interests. You'll choose when you prefer to receive a delivery (currently Tuesdays or Fridays), and staff will let you know when they're coming with your library materials. Staff will retrieve materials that you've finished when dropping off new material. No late fees will ever accrue during Homebound Delivery lending.

If you or someone you know needs this service, please give us a call at 845 783 4411 to speak with a member of our staff. We'd love to get to know you and then schedule an initial drop off.

Alternatively, you can send an email to homebound@monroefreelibrary.org to start the process.

You will be asked to fill out an initial application. You can download a copy of that application here.
