How to find and request library materials from home:
Click on the Online Catalog link from the Library's homepage.
Click on the "Log On" button and then enter your library card and pin number (you will create a pin number the first time you log on).
Search the catalog for the item you want. If the status is "Check Shelves" it means the item is available at Bancroft Memorial Library. Click on "Request" to have the item held for you.
If you do not find your item, select "All Central MA Libraries" from the drop-down list in the location box in the middle of the screen. When you find what you are looking for, click on "Request", enter Hopedale as the pickup location, and we will call you when the item is delivered for you.
If you still cannot find your item, click the blue C/W Mars Union Catalog button on the right of the screen. This enables you to search in the libraries of Western Massachusetts. Request as above.
As a final option, you may search in the Virtual Catalog which covers all the library systems in Massachusetts. Step by step directions are available on the screen for placing your request.
You can also log on with your library card to...
...see when your items are due back to the library
...renew your checked-out items
...set up a "Reading Log" which will keep track of all the materials you have checked out
...Create a "Wish List" of books you want to read in the future
