The East Hampton Public Library is pleased to provide home delivery of library materials to residents of East Hampton who are temporarily or permanently homebound due to illness, disability, or advanced age.
About Library Home Delivery
- A library card is required for home delivery. If you do not have a current library card, we are happy to provide one for you.
- Books, magazines, and audiobooks are checked out for 4 weeks and will automatically renew twice if no holds have been placed on the item. DVDs are checked out for one week.
- The Library no longer collects overdue fines. Patrons are billed for items that are over 28 days late. Once the item is returned, the bill is taken off of the card. If you lose or damage materials, you will be charged the cost of the item. Use of library card privileges will be suspended until items are returned or payment is received.
- Delivery volunteers or staff members have discretion to not enter a home, to leave a home, and/or recommend suspension of service if the volunteer or staff member feels uncomfortable at the residence for any reason. To assist home delivery we ask our outreach patrons to assist our volunteers and staff by confining pets, dressing appropriately, and exercising good manners during the delivery process. Should a delivery concern arise a library supervisor will contact the patron to discuss the situation.
