Free Book Pulling & Delivery

Did you know Jenkins offers a free Book Pulling and Courier Delivery service? Our staff will pull book(s) off the shelf and deliver them to you via courier for no charge.

Some restrictions do apply, but if your order is 9 lbs or less and you are within the Free Delivery Area Map borders, your order (book pulling & courier) is free. If an order is over the weight limit, the book pulling will still be free, but you will need to let us know how you want your items delivered. You can pick up the books at our front desk or have them sent via special courier, FedEX, UPS or USPS (charges apply). The choice is yours!

Most of our collection loans to members. Find available items by using our catalog. Then, go to the Request a Free Book Pulling & Delivery form on our website to place your order. For any questions, read our FAQ or contact our librarians at 215.574.1505.
