Let Us Bring the Library To You!

The Wyomissing Public Library has announced the start of a new benefit in its service area. Effective immediately, volunteers from the library, located at 9 Reading Boulevard in Wyomissing, will deliver and pick up library materials to people who reside in Wyomissing, Wyomissing Hills, and West Reading. If a person is unable to visit the library due to illness, disability, transportation issues or caregiving responsibilities, that person would qualify for free home delivery and pickup. To be eligible, a person needs to have – or apply for – a Wyomissing Public Library card.
 
Items that may be requested for home delivery include fiction, non-fiction and large print books, audiobooks, magazines, music Cds, and videos. Materials may be requested by phone or online at www.wyopublib.org, and will be delivered on Tuesdays, weather permitting. Requests for materials need to be made no later than Mondays by 5 PM.
 
A person may request up to 10 items, including no more than 5 dvd’s or cd’s, and 5 magazines. To request items, or to sign up for the service, call the library Mondays -Fridays, 10 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 10 am to 3 pm.
At this time, due to limited resources, the library is not able to offer home delivery beyond Wyomissing, Wyomissing Hills and West Reading. The service is a natural extension of the delivery and pickup service it has offered to residents of The Highlands at Wyomissing over the past 15 months.
 
For more information, contact the Program Coordinator, ann@wyopublib.org, or call the library at 610-374-2385.
