Homebound Library Users
To be eligible for the service you must be a Mariposa County resident and unable to come to the library due to a permanent condition, or a temporary condition that will last for six weeks or more. For example, you are no longer able to drive, have mobility problems, require extended bed rest, or have a broken leg. A cover letter with an application form, reading preference form, and a release form will be sent to you. You may remain in the program for as long as you need the service. Homebound residents interested in the program can contact Interim County Librarian Janet Chase-Williams at 966-2140.

To apply for Homebound Delivery service, print the Homebound Patron Release form and mail or take the completed form to Mariposa County Library. If you don't already have a library card, you can print a Library Card Application form, fill it out, and sign it at your first delivery from the Homebound Delivery Program. (Adobe Reader is required to view or print the forms.)

To qualify to be a volunteer you must be physically able to deliver library materials, possess a valid California State driver's license, be willing to be fingerprinted, sign a release of liability, and have proof of current auto insurance.
