A public library may provide, as an enhanced service, the delivery of a borrowed book to a library customer by mail. Library customers utilizing this service may request the delivery by mail of only circulating library material.

There will be a service fee of $3 for each item mailed plus all applicable postage charges.  The charges shall be assessed upon the customer’s library card account. All applicable terms and conditions for borrowing library material shall also apply to books borrowed and delivered by mail.  Items will be mailed to the mailing address on record and will be sent by United States mail, first class.

The loan period for library material borrowed through the books by mail service is twenty-eight days. The loan period begins on the date the library material is checked out on the customer’s library card. The loan period ends when the library material is received and checked in by an HSPLS library. Library material returned after the due date shall be considered overdue and fines shall be assessed in accordance with our Administrative Rules.  Library material borrowed through the books by mail service shall be returned at any public library.
