Book by Mail Service

Books by Mail Application form (.pdf)
THIS FORM IS NOT AUTOMATED
Please print, fill out, sign and submit

As of March 1, 2009, the mail delivery option is available upon login only to those cardholders who have been pre-approved as eligible for mail service based on inability to receive books via pickup at a library. (The district does not have systems in place at present that would allow us to charge non-eligible cardholders for mail delivery, but we hope to make this option available in 2010.)

You may qualify for mailing of library items at no charge if:
  • You have mobility issues that make it difficult for you to travel to a library to pick up books
  • There is no one else who can pick up books for you
  • Your driving distance from the nearest library is more than 10 miles.
If you think you may be eligible for mail service, check out the criteria on the application form, which is also available from libraries and bookmobiles. To apply, please note that the form is not automated; you must print, fill out, sign and submit it either via mail, fax or in person.

For assistance or for more information, please call (360) 695-1566 or 1-888-546-2707 toll-free from area code 509, or send an email to booksbymail@fvrl.org.
