You may request specific titles, or our staff can provide suggestions based on genres that appeal to you, titles you've enjoyed, or authors you like.

When will I receive my items?
When you call to request items, we'll arrange a time for delivery right to your door. We can also work with you to set up a regular delivery schedule.

Do I need a library card to use this service?
Yes, you do, but don’t let that deter you! If you don’t have a library card yet, just give us a call, and we’ll be happy to set one up for you. Cards are available to Freedom residents free of charge.
