Home Delivery

doors openingAt the Wallingford Public Library, we know that physical limitations can sometimes prevent people from leaving their homes.

WPL @ Your Doorstep is our library materials delivery service. It is free for Wallingford residents who have a valid library card and are unable to leave home during the pandemic or because of a temporary or permanent disability.

About Our Program

Who is eligible? Wallingford residents who are confined to their home due to the pandemic, a prolonged illness or extended convalescence and do not have a household member to pick up and return library materials.

Residents of health care facilities or nursing homes are encouraged to have a staff member or volunteer from the facility come to the Library to retrieve and return materials.

How to apply: Applicants will complete an enrollment form and a reading interest form. Call us to have the forms sent via U.S. mail or email.

How is delivery arranged ? Materials will be delivered to your home by a volunteer. When we receive your enrollment form, we will contact you to discuss delivery. Delivery will be contactless and should be left in a secure area. We will discuss the delivery drop off location when we receive your application.

What are the borrowing guidelines? Up to 5 books, 5 magazines, 5 CDs, and 5 DVDs (15 total items) may be borrowed at a time for up to 4 weeks. Items may be renewed if there are no holds on them. The Library retains the right to assess fines and/or discontinue service if borrowed items are damaged.

For more information: Please call us at (203)265-6754, text us at (203)903-8447, or send an email to bookdelivery@wallingfordlibrary.org with any questions you may have regarding this service.

We also are happy to put aside materials for a family member or friend to pick up on behalf of individuals confined to their homes.
