Home Delivery

This is an opt-in service only. If you do not sign up for the program we will not deliver materials to your home.

In keeping with Oregon Health Authority guidelines, we do not make deliveries to nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, residential care facilities, adult foster homes, or group homes where there are significant numbers of “high risk” populations for health complications due to COVID-19. However, we do delivery to retirement communities and other facilities where strict physical distancing is and can be maintained. Please contact us for more information and to find out if a specific location qualifies for the program.

This is an opt-in program. Patrons must call the library, email us, or sign up on our website and ask to be included. Our phone number is (503) 435-5561 and email is libref@mcminnvilleoregon.gov. You can also sign up using the online form here.  At sign up we will ask to verify that we have the correct address for you on file.

The easiest way to request materials for delivery is to search on the catalog website for what you want and then to place a hold on the material. Our courier is now running Mon-Thur and all CCRLS libraries except Salem Public Library are routing their materials. If you need help navigating this process, please give us a call and we can walk you through it. If you would like our reference or children’s librarians to help you select new materials, you may call the children’s line at (503) 435-5559 or the reference line at (503) 435-5562.

If you have items to be returned you can either return them to our outside library book drop or give the materials to our delivery librarians in the packaging in which they were delivered to you (i.e. plastic or canvas bag).

We recommend that you or someone in your family is home to accept delivery. But it is not necessary. If you are not at home library staff will leave your materials at your doorstep or in another location you inform us is a safe place to leave the materials. If that is not possible or you do not wish for us to leave deliveries when you are not home, please indicate this when signing up for the program.

When setting up your account for this program, staff will ask if there is a cell phone number we can text to let you know when we are on our way to your home. You will get a text when the driver is leaving the library and when they are expected to be about 15 minutes away. If you do not have a cell phone for delivery notifications, we cannot notify you prior to delivery. We apologize for this inconvenience to our land line patrons.
