Library Cards
The Library is a member of the Minuteman regional consortium of libraries. You may visit any of these libraries to get a library card, or register online for a card that is good for 6 months, then go to any Minuteman library to get a permanent card. This gives you access to our large selection on online books and resources, as well as our in-house collections. Also, any Massachusetts resident with a library card can sign up online to take advantage of the Boston Public Library's even larger array of online materials.
Our library has a wonderful Children's Room, a great space just for teens, study rooms and lots of places to sit and read. There are public computers, free Wi-Fi, and printers and scanners available. And if you have any questions, or need help finding anything, our Reference Librarians love to help! Visit them in the Library, or call 781-862-6288.
You and your family are also welcome to take part in all of our hundreds of programs and activities. See our Program Calendar.
