Outreach Services

Home Delivery Service

The Peabody Institute Library’s Home Delivery Service (HDS) provides library materials to residents of Danvers who are unable to come to the library. HDS is also available to residents of short- and long-term care facilities located in Danvers.

To participate, please come in for an application, or download it here.

You can return it to the library, 15 Sylvan Street, Danvers, MA, or attach a photograph of the form to jmparsons@noblenet.org and The Community and Outreach Librarian will contact you to discuss your preferences and set up a delivery schedule.

Pop-up Library.

You never know when we’ll pop up! The Pop-Up Library consists of a table, a laptop, books, flyers, and your friendly neighborhood Community and Outreach Librarian!

From this setup, we can:

  • Check out books
  • Make library cards
  • Put books on hold, and
  • Promote library programs
  • Where can you find the Pop-Up Library?

    Events

    We are showing up at community events! We have been to Light the Night Purple, Pride celebrations, the Healing and Unity Event, Juneteenth, the Danvers Summer Concert Series, and more!

    Venues

    Some of the places you will find the Pop-Up Library are retirement homes, the Danvers Council on Aging and the YMCA. We are still expanding our services, so please contact us at jmparsons@noblenet.org if you have ideas.
