Operating since September 2019, the local library book delivery service makes reading easier than ever. Readers simply visit the company’s website, create an account, and fill out a form indicating the books they’d like to rent, all within a couple minutes. Then, without having to pay a penny, their desired books will be delivered to their door within 48 hours or less. The process is safe, in accordance with health guidelines, and contact-free.

While many libraries have reduced hours and capacity, or shuttered their doors completely due to COVID-19, Helium Books is filling the void, allowing library-goers and readers seamless access to the neighborhood staple they may be missing. Although many Milwaukee County residents may not be able to visit their local library, they—by way of Helium Books’s services—are able to once again unlock the magic behind these now-closed doors.
If you or someone you know is patiently waiting for libraries to re-open, Helium Books may be worth looking into. It’s free, it’s fast, and it’s safe. Also worth mentioning, you do not need a library card to use the service.
