How to Get a Library Card

Applying for a Card:

Any Massachusetts resident with proper photo identification displaying both name and current address may apply for a card. (If the photo identification does not contain current address you must provide an additional document with your name and current address (i.e. utilities bill, automobile registration, etc.).
Parents of minor children will need to show their own identification in order to register their child for a library card.
Your first card is free. Replacement cards cost $2.00.
Your library card may be used at other public C/W MARS member libraries in Central Massachusetts. If you already have a library card from another public C/W MARS member library in Central Massachusetts, you may use it here.
Your borrowing privileges at C/W MARS member libraries are determined by where you live and not by where you get your library card. If you reside in a community with a closed or decertified library, you will not be able to borrow or request materials from the Levi Heywood Memorial Library.
Library cards are issued immediately at the Library’s Adult Circulation Desk or Children's Circulation Desk upon the presentation of completed application form and acceptable identification.
Library card expiration dates: Library cards are renewed periodically. At that time, borrower information is verified, and the card's expiration date is extended.

For your convenience you can print a patron registration form and bring the completed form to the Library with the required identification.
