Homebound Delivery Services
In order to ensure that all citizens of Cole and Osage Counties have access to basic library services, Missouri River Regional Library offers delivery of books and other library materials to patrons who are unable to visit library facilities due to illness or physical limitations.
To sign up for Homebound Delivery service, please fill out the brochure about your reading and format preferences and review our policy and procedures. A member of the Outreach Department will be in contact with you.
If you have any questions call 573-634-2464 ext. 240 or ext. 239
