The Wayland Library is a member of the Minuteman Library Network (MLN). Your library card entitles you to borrow materials from our library, as well as 41 other public and academic libraries.

Patrons are allowed a total of 150 items to be checked out to their account. There is a limit of 50 requests per account. Items cannot be borrowed or renewed if there’s more than $10 in charges on your account.
The Minuteman Library Network provides automatic renewals for eligible items.
You will receive an email courtesy notice identifying which items are due soon and which items were auto-renewed.
Items are renewed if:
If an item can not be renewed, the courtesy notice lists it as due in 2 days. If you do not have an email address associated with your account, the item will still be automatically renewed. If you like, you can still renew an item by calling the library or by logging into your account on the MLN home page.
Items received from outside the Minuteman Library Network are not renewable. Please call and ask for the Inter-Library Loan Department for assistance about extenuating circumstances.
Wayland Library materials may be returned to any MLN library, and materials from any MLN library may be returned to Wayland, except for those items that must be returned to their owning library.
We have two book returns outside the library, one for books and one for media (i.e. CDs, DVDs, and audiobooks). These bins are emptied once a day in the morning. Items returned in these bins during the day will be checked in the following business day.
Library materials that are obtained through Inter-Library Loan (from outside the Minuteman Library Network) must be returned to the circulation desk at this library. These items will have a notice attached that tells you this.
With your card number in hand you may request online, by phone, or in person at the library.
When notified that your item(s) is available for pickup, by phone or email, come to the library with your card. If someone else is picking up for you that person must have your card. This is required to protect your privacy. [Mass. General Laws Chapter 78, Section 7]
