Home Delivery Services
The nights are now longer than the days. What better time to settle down with a good book? But wait – what if you can’t get to the library to pick out a new read? Did you know that the library now offers home delivery of library materials to our mobility-impaired readers? Books, DVD’s, materials to read yourself or with your grandies. Or even our new Read With Me literacy kits, designed for an adult and a kid to enjoy reading together. All these and more can be delivered to your home if you are unable to get to the library. And thanks to a partnership with Wet Mountain Rotary Community Service (better known as the Rotary Van Service), we can also bring mobility-impaired residents to the library to enjoy our events and programs. Or to pick out their own reading material, like a real live copy of the Wall Street Journal, or one of our magazines.
Fill out an online application today and we’ll get back to you to arrange delivery or transport to the program of your choice. Or call us at 719/783-9138. And make sure to tell folks you know that we offer this service – word of mouth is the best advertising ever. (And see our ad the newspaper!)

And not so spooky, here’s a cute picture book to share with a kid you like:
Aggie and the Ghost, by Matthew Forsythe
Aggie is not so lonely after she finds her house is haunted. Happy Halloween!
