* We cannot renew items that have been requested by another patron.
**Current issues of magazines are for in-library use only and are located in the Reading Room.
RENEWALS: Materials may be renewed at the library, by phone, or over the Internet using a PIN number. Phone renewals require your library card number and/or the barcode number of each item you wish to renew.
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN): You may request a PIN for your library account at the Circulation Desk. This will allow you to access your account through a library catalog computer or at www.noblenet.org. Once you enter your library card number and PIN you will be able to view your record, renew items, and place requests for materials.
INTER-LIBRARY LOANS: If you would like to borrow material that our library does not own, we may be able to borrow it for you from another Massachusetts library. Inter-library loan request forms are available at the Circulation desk and the Reference Room. Inter-library loan items are subject to the loan rules of the OWNING library.
BOOK DROP: Our after hours book drop is located to the right of our main entrance and can only be seen when the wooden doors are closed. Items returned in our book drop before we open will be treated as if they were returned the previous day.
