Summary
Martin County Library’s home delivery service provides four-week checkouts and no-overdue-fine service to residents who cannot visit branches. The service is funded by an endowment from the Annie E. Myers Trust and requests must be placed through any branch.
Martin County Library offers a home delivery service for residents who cannot physically reach library branches, and the program is funded by an endowment from the Annie E. Myers Trust. Hosts said the service allows four-week checkouts and carries no overdue fines for delivery patrons.
Library staff told podcast hosts that residents can request delivery through any branch; staff will assist patrons who do not have a particular title in mind. “You get a four-week checkout, and there are obviously no overdue fines,” one host said while describing the service as a branch-supported offering. The hosts said registration and branch contact details will be listed in the episode show notes.
Why it matters: Home delivery expands library access to residents who face mobility or transportation barriers. The program’s funding by a trust endowment covers costs distinct from property-tax-funded county services.
Other library services discussed included programs and events at local branches; the hosts said they would add registration and program links to the show notes for listeners.
Ending: Residents who need library delivery or assistance choosing materials should contact their local branch; the county will publish links and registration information in the program notes.
