Homebound Delivery Service
The library offers free delivery of library books and materials to homebound individuals. Homebound refers to those who are infirm or disabled in such a way as not being able to come to the library. Also, this service is provided to those who are 65 years of age or older and have no means of transportation. Only individuals living within the city limits of Alamogordo qualify for this service. People using the Homebound Delivery Service must also have an Alamogordo Public Library card in good standing.
- Library materials delivery will be once every three weeks on Wednesday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
- The check-out period for all items is three weeks (21 days.) Requests for item renewals or longer checkout periods will be considered.
- Books, large print books, and audio books on CD or Playaway® can be delivered to homebound patrons. DVDs and new books are not eligible for homebound delivery.
- To avoid any confusion, homebound delivery service patrons' cards will be held by the library. If you do not have a valid Alamogordo Public Library card, please contact the library for assistance. 576-439-4140 option 2
