The “Van” is still going!

Despite the cuts in library budgets, the delivery service between libraries in the county is still continuing in 2010!

What does this mean? You can request almost any item from any library in Delaware County and have it delivered to the Aston Library for you to pick up here. This is free of charge, except for DVDs.

Here is how you do it:

Go to the catalog (http://charlotte.delco.lib.pa.us/ or just go to one of our catalog stations at the library)
Search up the item you want by title, author, subject, keyword etc.
- If it’s part of a list of results, click on the title to get to the “detailed” view of the item
Click the request button

Enter the info requested (Your last name and card number)
Select “Aston” as the Pickup Location
Hit Submit

Wait for the confirmation
Contact a staff member (610-494-5877 or just visit us at the Circulation Desk) if there is an error
You will receive just 1 (one) phone call when the book arrives. A message will be left. The book will be held for 3 (three) days.

This greatly expands the material you have access to with your library card! There are over 500,000 items to choose from! Wow!

The van is provided by the Delaware County Library System!
