If you are a resident of the Blacktown Local Government Area, we can deliver to you for free if you are in one of the following situations:

• unable to visit the library due to poor health
• constrained with a disability
• suffering from a chronic illness
• frail aged
• resident in a care facility
• a carer.

Please note: There is no age limit to this service.

You will also need certification from a service provider, such as a doctor, registered nurse, disabled service provider, community service organisation for these instances, unless you are a resident of a care facility in which case this certification is waived.

• large print books
• regular print books
• audiovisual material (including audiobooks, CDs and DVDs)
• magazines
• items from the community languages collections
• e-books, e-audiobooks, e-magazines and streaming movies. This depends on the digital device you have, and we can help.

Your items can be selected by library staff using the information you provide, or by you through the library's reservation system or when you visit the library.

Your items will be delivered by a regular library courier, or you can have a family member pick them up for you.
