Palos Park Library, Police Team Up to Help the Homebound

The Palos Park Public Library is partnering with the Palos Park Police Department to bring library materials to residents who cannot leave their homes.

The “You Are Not Alone” program provides delivery of library materials to participating Palos Park card holders.

Through this program, full library service is offered to those who are unable to come to the library temporarily or permanently due to a physical disability or other mobility limitations. By calling the library, residents may request books, large-print titles, magazines, audiobooks, music on cd; and DVDs ($1 fee applies).

The library staff can help select books and materials based on patron’s interests. The Palos Park Police Department arranges for delivery of the requested materials to homebound persons.

Overdue fines will be waived, however, participants will have to pay for lost materials.

Please call Sheila Sosnicki, Library Director at the Palos Park Public Library at 708-448-1534 to register for this program.
