Are you unable to visit the library?

The library can come to you!

Orland Park Public Library offers Home Delivery services to our cardholders. Patrons are eligible for this service if they are confined to their residence either temporarily or permanently due to illness, accident, limited mobility, or disability.

  • Our Outreach staff will contact you by phone or email to assist you with your title selection, special request, and delivery timing. We make home deliveries on Mondays and Fridays in our clearly market library van. This service is free and Home Deliver Service participants do not incur fees.
  • If you or anyone you know would benefit from our Home Delivery Service, please call, or email the Outreach department at (708) 428-5111 or outreach@orlandparklibrary.org
  • You may also apply for services via our online request form, and we will get back to you shortly.
  • For additional information about our Home Delivery Service, you can view our full Home Delivery Policy here.
  • Outreach Services offer a variety of materials such as large print materials, audiobooks on CD’s, movies, CD players and magnifiers.

    “The Talking Book and Braille Service (TBBS) provides audio and braille library service via mail or digital download to any Illinois resident who is unable to read standard print material due to a permanent or temporary visual or physical disability.
    As the Regional Library, TBBS acts as the liaison to the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) and circulates books to all residents enrolled in the Talking Book and Braille Service.”
