Rapid City Public Library Homebound Delivery Service

Removing the barriers between information access and your home

What is Homebound Delivery Service?
The delivery service allows patrons to have materials selected and delivered by volunteers on a monthly basis.

Who is eligible for the delivery service?
Home delivery is available to those who:

  • Do not have reliable transportation

  • Have health issues that keep them from the library

  • Live in assisted living, nursing or retirement communities

  • Residents of Rapid City Area School District inside Pennington County are eligible for library cards, selection and delivery.

How do the volunteers assist?
Volunteers call homebound patrons once per month to announce the next delivery date and to help select your new materials. Volunteer delivery drivers will be out the same week to pick up and drop off materials. For more information on volunteer opportunities click here.

What can be borrowed?
Materials include:

  • Books, large and regular print

  • Books on tape or CD

  • Music CDs

  • Movies on VHS or DVD

  • You may still place holds and request interlibrary loans

How long may I borrow the items?
The materials are checked out for 6 weeks and there are never overdue fines, however fees for lost or damaged materials will be assessed as necessary.
