Do We Make House Calls?  You Bet We Do!

Our Home Delivery service brings the library to you . . .

Are you confined to your home or unable to visit the library in person?

Any person who’s temporarily or permanently unable to come to the library because of illness, disability, or other factors, and lives within the city of La Crosse, is eligible for this free service. (If volunteers are available, this service will be extended to non-city residents.)

How does this service work?

Volunteers will select library materials based on your reading interests and deliver them to your home at a prearranged time.  When you are finished with the materials, the volunteer will pick them up and bring them back to the library. This service is available all year round but may also be seasonal (ex. winter only).
