About
If you or a loved one cannot visit the library, we can bring the library to you! We offer 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 and checking out materials, we’ll hand-deliver the materials directly to you.

Print out the Homebound Application form and return it either by mail or in-person
Once we receive your form, we will contact you to obtain any clarification or to set up the date and time of your first delivery. Then, once a month, we’ll bring you materials that reflect your interests, based on the selections you made on the sign-up form. You can also request specific materials for us to bring by calling ahead of time. We’ll return again in approximately one month to pick up your materials (if you are unable to arrange to have them returned to the library) and to deliver your new selections.
If you have any questions, please call the Mineola Memorial Library at 516-746-8488 (ext. 304).
