Book Dash: Stay connected to the joy of reading, no matter where you are!
During our renovation, we’re bringing the library to you! Our Book Dash program delivers books straight to any library patron’s door while the library is temporarily closed. Whether you’re catching up on bestsellers, diving into a new series, or exploring different genres, we’ve got you covered. Simply sign up as a Book Dash user, place your requests online through our catalog or MeL, and we’ll dash over with your selections on Tuesdays or Thursdays.
Sign Up
Register as a Book Dash user. If you sign up, you will strictly be a Book Dash user. We cannot guarantee that books will be available at the library if you pick them up on your own before the delivery date.
Eligibility
All current Lincoln Township Public Library System resident card holders are eligible to sign up for deliveries.
What You Can Borrow
Any of the library’s circulating materials including books, large print books, audiobooks, magazines, CDs, and DVDs may be requested as well as kits and materials associated with library programs. Place a hold on any of the items in our catalog or on MeL in order to have them delivered to you.

Contactless Pickup
Pickups will be arranged by telephone and email. Otherwise, give return books to our delivery driver on Tuesdays or Thursdays when you get new items.
LTPL Delivery totes
