the latest word

Are you great at networking? We are.

We don't mean to toot our own horn, but we have a pretty amazing network. Now, we're not talking about our social networks (but you can follow our antics on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and even TikTok), or our WiFi network (but that did just get an upgrade)- we're talking about the Minuteman Library Network! Did you know that all Weston Public Library patrons are also Minuteman Library Network cardholders? Read on to find out more about what that means.

Minuteman Library Network Map

Weston is smack dab in the middle of it all!

Weston may not be the actual center of the universe, but it is more or less the geographic center of the Minuteman Library Network. With your Weston Public Library card, you can visit and borrow from any library on this map, just like you do here at the WPL. No time to do a tour of the Boston suburbs and beyond? You can always place holds on items from other Minuteman libraries by using our online catalog or by calling the Reference Desk at 781-786-6165. Items will be delivered to Weston for pickup in just a few days. 

Borrow millions of items from across the state

Looking for something farther afield? Yup, we can get that too.

The Commonwealth Catalog broadens your search beyond our library and network resources. In one easy step, you can search through millions of items at
participating libraries from every corner of Massachusetts.

Make a request and it will be delivered to the WPL for quick pickup. Check it out at https://commonwealthcatalog.org/

If you still can't seem to find what you're looking for, no worries. Call our Reference Desk at 781-786-6165 to get our resource super-sleuths (aka reference librarians) on the job!

MLN app

How to fit a library in your pocket: a beginner's guide

The Minuteman Library Network mobile app has been totally redesigned to be more awesome than ever. Sure, you can search the catalog, reserve a museum pass, etc., BUT the best part is the digital library card. Sign in once and you never need to carry your library card again, just open the MLN Mobile app on your phone and tap "Digital Library Card". All of our barcode readers are specially made to read phone screens, so checkout is easy-peasy. 

Download from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
