What's My Pin Number?
The catalog system requires a P.I.N. number when placing holds either here or at home. Your P.I.N. number in most cases is the last 4 digits of your telephone number. Some patrons were given a random number when they registered for a new card, this number was written on the card and/or told to you when you registered. You can ask for the number to be changed to the last four digits of your phone number. This is an extra level of security and allows you to access the catalog and your account to view current holds, items checked out and to renew books.

MassCat is a library catalog of holdings from school, medical, law, special and a few public libraries. While some of the more specialized and intriguing materials cannot be taken out of the library, MassCat member libraries are committed to sharing their resources. We invite you to search the database and should you find items of interest, you are encouraged to contact the library to arrange an appointment to view their most specialized materials or to talk to your library about borrowing the materials for you to use.

The Digital Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a portal to the rich cultural heritage held in museums, historical societies, colleges, libraries and other cultural repositories in Massachusetts. From this site you can search or browse the digital collections of member institutions throughout the state for manuscripts, images, historical documents, and sound recordings. The portal provides you with enhanced access and retrieval of information.

24 Hour Reference Service offered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
