This service is free of charge to residents of senior and assisted living facilities, and to residents with either a temporary or permanent disability.

Some of our service areas include:

  • Senior Apartments
  • Assisted Living Locations
  • Nursing Homes

Special Delivery

This “special delivery,” is designed for families that live in the Saratoga Springs City School District that have children who are up to 12 months of age. If you are interested in this service, we are happy to bring materials for you and any other children you have as well.

Each monthly delivery will include:

  • a selection of items based on your family’s indicated interests and ages
  • any specific titles or topics you’ve requested
  • library program schedules and announcements
  • early literacy tips, songs, or games

If you are interested in this service, please complete the Special Delivery interest form or call 518-584-7860, ext. 226
