The Library by Mail service allows eligible cardholders to borrow books in regular print, large print, multilingual, and ESL (English as a Second Language) learning formats, as well as audiobooks, DVDs, and magazines, all delivered to the library cardholder’s mailbox. Materials are shipped through Canada Post with a prepaid, pre-addressed return envelope included in each package.

“Lambton County Library has piloted this Library by Mail Service to nine patrons over the last two years,” said Darlene Coke, Manager, Library Services. “Now that we have had a little more experience with the logistics related to operating this service, we are pleased to be able to publicly launch the service and to continue our work removing any barriers to people accessing library service in Lambton County.”
