Libraries that deliver

Houston Public Library delivers to your door .... well, your car door. This initiative is a result of "parking challenged" libraries.

Library patrons are able to reserve items via an on-line catalogue and are then notified when they are ready for collection. Here's the twist, patrons call the library and provide a description of their cars and their borrower details. Staff collect the requested items and deliver to the patron waiting in their car.

No, fries are not part of the service. Full story here.
