Library Cards, Resources & November Library Events

Greetings from the library! Now that we are at the end of the first quarter, we wanted to make you aware of what’s happening in the WMS library and of the following resources and services that are available.Public Library Cards: Do students need their own public library card? Yes! Having one will allow them to access many online resources such as databases, Libby, Hoopla, and more! A physical card will also allow them to check out books or request books through interlibrary loan. Sign up online here, or visit the Weston Public Library. Any MA resident can also sign up for a Boston Public Library card.
