DELIVERY

Our staff and volunteers deliver books, CDs, DVDs, magazines, and Anything Emporium kits to DGPL cardholders who are unable to visit the library due to temporary or permanent health or mobility conditions.

Support for this library service is provided by Community Assisted Rides (CARS). CARS champions older adults by providing them with safe and convenient ride services and supportive, friendly community outreach--all made possible with the generosity of donors, community partners, and wonderful volunteers. If you are interested in serving the Downers Grove community by assisting with making these deliveries, please call CARS at 708-354-9328 or email Coordinator@communityassistedrides.org.
