Questions about library cards should be directed to Amy Anaya (our Head of Borrower Services) at
anayaa@joneslibrary.org.
Are library cards free?
Library cards are free for most Massachusetts residents. Residents of
non-certified Massachusetts towns may purchase a Jones Library card for $35 per year per person, payable to Jones Library, Inc. Please note that other
CW MARS libraries are not required to honor library cards issued to residents of non-certified Massachusetts towns.
Can I get a library card if I don’t live in Massachusetts?
Normally, out-of-state residents may purchase a Jones Library card by visiting one of our libraries. However, because our buildings are closed, we are currently unable to provide these cards.
What if I lose my card?
Please report lost cards to any Circulation Desk as soon as possible. (Phone numbers are listed under the Contact Us heading on this page.) Replacement cards are free.
I've moved. What should I do?
Please report address changes to any Circulation Desk by completing
this short form.
