DMPL Homebound Services

The Des Moines Public Library offers two different free services for patrons who are unable visit our locations. Books by Mail and Homebound Delivery are very similar in what they offer. The main difference is in how the items are delivered:

• In the Books by Mail program, patrons receive and return items through the mail. Each delivery includes a pre-paid bag used to return the items to the library.
• The Homebound Delivery program relies on volunteers to deliver items to patrons in-person as well and pick them up and return them.
