From the article:

Getting a book from a library usually means a trip there, but the Burlington County Library is now in the mail order business as well.

The library initiated free home delivery service this summer with its new “Library in a Bag” program. Gloucester County is the only other county library offering materials using this mail program.

Gail Sweet, Burlington County Library director, said there has been a tremendous response from the public already.

Since the startup in June, she said the library has sent out more than 400 packages that have included books, CDs and DVDs.

“We thought DVDs would be the most requested. They weren’t. It was books,” she said. “Despite what many believe, books are still popular. I think people just still enjoy curling up with a book.”
