Homebound Services
This winter, the Mineola Library is revitalizing our Homebound Services program. They are offering this free service to any Mineola resident with a permanent or temporary impairment that makes coming to the library difficult. Instead of visiting the library, they will bring the materials directly to you. Participants will receive materials based on your preferences or on requested specific materials. To sign up, visit our website and fill out the form online; call the reference desk (516-746-8488, ext. 2); or pick up a paper form at the reference desk. Then, schedule an appointment with Lisa to begin home delivery of library materials.
