Get a Library Card


All who live, work, or go to school in Massachusetts can apply for a CW MARS public library card.

To register for a physical library card, visit any CW MARS member library with a photo ID and proof of address. A physical library card provides access to both physical and electronic materials.

How do I apply?

A physical card will allow you access to all our physical and digital materials in addition to shared physical collections from member Central and Western Massachusetts libraries (CWMARS). Just stop into the library during open hours, with a photo ID, such as a state license, state ID or passport with your current address. If your ID doesn't have your current address, also bring in a piece of mail with your current address. You'll need to fill out a short application and you will be a new member of the library with access to thousands of books, DVD's, music CD's, audiobooks, museum passes and more!
