The Davenport Public Library is pleased to announce that we have been chosen to participate in the testing for a new delivery system designed to get your books to you as quickly as possible! This system combines the best attributes of technology with good old-fashioned customer service and we believe it will revolutionize the library world – and yours as well!<\/p>\n

In association with Drones R Us\u00ae, the library will now deliver your requested items via drone! After you have read and signed the Drones R Us\u00ae contract and personal liability waiver, your library account will be synced with their exclusive Drone Book Delivery System Interface. Then, when a book you have reserved becomes available for you, a Drones R Us\u00ae drone will be dispatched to your home with your book. Books will be packaged in pink hat boxes tied with a white satin ribbon and will be limited to no more than 4 items per delivery.<\/p>\n

\"pinkhatbox\"<\/a>It’s easy to activate this free service! Simply access your library account (or stop at the Customer Service Desk at any Davenport Library location) and go to the “Contact Information and Preferences” section. Carefully read the Drones R Us\u00ae contract and personal liability waiver, confirm that the address listed is current and check the box labeled “Yes! Drone Delivery”. Then sit back and wait for the distinctive humming buzz of your next book arriving at your doorstep via the Drones R Us\u00ae drones!<\/p>\n

The library does not accept any responsibility for misdirected items, broken windows, dented cars or head gashes that may result from a Drones R Us\u00ae drone delivery. Activate service at your own risk.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
