BOOKS BY MAIL

Note: There is a "bug" in the new catalog. Until it is fixed and "US Postal Service" becomes an option again when placing a hold, you can either call us at (904) 255-BOOK to place them over the phone or you can select your own materials by clicking "Place hold" and selecting "Main Library" as your pick up location. As long as you're a registered Books by Mail customer, staff will know to manually change your holds requests to home delivery.

If you selected Option 2 (auto-select), your first delivery of librarian-selected materials will be shipped out as soon as possible. Just return those materials when you're ready to receive more.

Either way, you will receive deliveries of materials via the United States Postal Service in our convenient, reusable nylon bags.
