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.
