Cobb County Public Library System patrons who are homebound can check out books and other materials via a new book-by-mail service.
It’s eligible for library cardholders who have a temporary or permanent disability or who have transportation issues that prevent or limit them from coming to their local branch.
Patrons can check up to four books, CDs and DVDs that are then delivered through the U.S. Postal Service for up to nine weeks, and they will be offered pre-paid postage at no cost to them to return to the materials.
Only one batch of materials at a time can be checked out by any given patron who requests them.
For more information, and to fill out an application form to sign up for the program, click here or call 770-528-2343
Cobb commissioners earlier this year approved spending $21,600 in American Rescue Plan Act for the book-by-mail outreach program.
