GETTING A LIBRARY CARD

Library cards are free and available to all Mass residents regardless of the town of residency.  Identification with current address is required.  A piece of mail, a bill, rental agreement or check book with current address can be used with identification that does not have a current address.  Parents may use their ID to identify a child.  A replacement card for a lost or destroyed card is $1.  Cards are available in either traditional and keychain.  Patrons must present their cards each time to take out library materials.  The card is accepted in all Minuteman Library Network libraries. *
