I already have a library card, can I get it on my smartphone?

YES! The MLN Mobile App is available at the Apple App Store, Google Play and the Amazon App Store. The app puts your library card AND your library in your pocket!

Just click the icon below for easy instructions!   

 

What are the benefits associated with my card?

As a Massachusetts resident and a member of the Minuteman Library Network, your card provides access to materials at more than forty libraries. With your card number and a PIN our catalog is available online. From home you may access databases, reserve museum passes, request materials, keep a reading history, view your own account, and more.

Do I need my card to check out library materials?

The most efficient and reliable way to check out materials is to have your card. If you do not have it with you, a picture ID is acceptable. Other MLN libraries may require a card.
