Your Library at Home

You don't have to go to the library to use the library. Many of our resources and services can be accessed from your home, office or mobile laptop. Use the links on this page to renew a book, look up a movie title, research newspaper and magazine articles, order materials from other Massachusetts libraries, or reserve a family pass to local attractions such as Plimoth Plantation, Mystic Seaport, Roger Williams Park Zoo and the Museum of Science. You will need a valid SAILS network library card for all services except basic searching.

PLACING HOLDS: You can reserve items from home and pick them up at the library. When they are ready to be picked up, we will call you. Many holds will be available within three business days, but bestsellers and other very popular items may have longer wait times. 

TAX FORMS: Federal and Massachusetts state income tax forms are available in the Reference Department from late January through April. Click here for more information.
