 Homebound Delivery Service

The Livonia Public Library offers FREE delivery of library materials to homebound patrons living within the town of Livonia, Lakeville, South Lima, Hemlock, and Conesus.  A homebound person is someone of any age who is unable to visit the library due to a long or short-term illness, condition, or disability.

How the Program Works

After choosing your library materials, a volunteer will  deliver them to your home once a month.

3 ways to choose library materials.

1. You may access your account online at www.livonia.pls.org and place holds on titles of interest. 

2.  You can call the library once a month to verbally place holds on materials of interest.

3.  You can coordinate with the volunteer to decide what materials are of interest and they will place a hold on them.

Made possible with help from the Friends of the Livonia Public Library      

 
Library Cards
We are now using plastic barcoded library cards.  Each library user will have his/her own card and will need it each time to check out library materials.  Patrons are required to register with the library.  Adults must provide NYS issued identification with their current address when registering.  Anyone age 5 or older may obtain a library card. A parent’s signature is required for ages 5-13.  These cards are valid for use in any of the 42 OWWL libraries.
 
Public Access Catalog
The library’s circulation system and catalog are fully automated.  The catalog is available on computer stations located near the main circulation desk.  If you need help using the computer catalog feel free to ask for assistance from staff.  Patrons may also access the OWWL Catalog through the PLS website. This catalog has the entire holdings for the 42 libraries in Pioneer Library System.OWWL2 Go Is a catalog where you can check out and download audio books and EBooks for listening and viewing on your personal computer. Audiobooks can also be transferred to compatible MP3 players or burned to CD.

ReservingBooks
If we don’t have the book you’re looking for we can place a hold for you from any of the 42 libraries in the Pioneer Library System. We will call you when the material becomes available. Patrons may also place their own holds from home or in the library. You must use both your library PIN number and the entire library card number to reserve the desired material. When you have found the desired material, click on the words “full details”, place the mouse over the words “hold” located in the upper right hand corner and click once. This brings up the screen to fill in the entire library card number and PIN and pick up library. We will be glad to assist you with any problems.

If the Pioneer Library System does not have the item you’re looking for we can try to borrow it from outside the system. There is a $5.00 non-refundable fee per item.
