Book Buggy Homebound Service

What is the Book Buggy? 

If you are a Riverdale resident unable to travel to the Library, you are eligible for our Book Buggy service. With our Book Buggy, a volunteer will deliver books, audio books, magazines, and movies right to your door! Give us a call and a librarian will help you select books or other items that match your interests. Deliveries and pick-ups are available once a week. All normal borrowing policies apply, though we will adjust our borrowing periods to adapt to your delivery schedule. Items delivered by Book Buggy are exempt from overdue fines. 

 

 How Does It Work?

 Volunteers from the Friends of the Riverdale Public Library will personally deliver books to your door if you are not able to travel to the library because of either a permanent or temporary disability. All drop offs and pick ups will be arranged with you ahead of time by phone.

 

Who Is Eligible?

 Anyone who has a valid borrowers card from the Riverdale Public Library and is good standing (If you don’t already have one, we can arrange for a library card by mail).
