Passes may be reserved online on a first-come, first-served basis or by visiting the Library at 17 Barstow Street or by phoning (508) 758-4171. Patron must present a valid library card which may be held at the MFPL until passes are returned. Patrons must sign for passes at pick-up time and are responsible for returning passes on time. A $5.00 per day late fee ($15.00 max) will be charged for any passes not returned on time.
Passes are to be returned to the Main Desk, NOT in the Book Drop, in order to prevent losses. Please note: They are easily LOST! Large Return Envelopes may be used if prearranged with librarians. Replacement Fees equal to fees charged by museums will be billed to borrowers for any Lost Passes.
