Library Cards
• To apply for a library card, a new patron must present ID with name and present address. Marlborough residency is not required.
• A new card is free to MA residents. Out of state residents are charged a $10.00 fee.
• Library cards need to be renewed every four years. Patrons may be unable to access their record or request materials online with an expired card. Patrons must come in to the library to update their card.
Please do not lend your card to others. You are responsible for everything checked out on your card. If your card is lost or stolen please report it immediately!
