As of the 20th of May, 2005, the Petersham Memorial Library will implement the C/W MARS automated circulation system. Please stop in the library and get your new library card, and request a PIN (Personal Identification number). NOTE: If you do not have a PIN, the system will prompt you to create one online. You will need your library card to check out library materials at any C/W MARS member libraries.

Renewing books online:
If you are a registered borrower at any of our circulating member libraries, you can log in to review your library record online. Your record lists the materials you have checked out, outstanding holds you have on library materials, and any fines you may owe. You can also renew your own books online. You must log in on the server where information for your home library is stored. Go to the Central MA Library Catalog (home library for this link: Petersham) and click on the "Log In" button. You will be prompted for your library card number and PIN.

Requesting books from other member libraries:
Registered C/W MARS library patrons are now able to place their own requests for books and other library materials through the online catalog - to be delivered to a local member library for pickup. To use this feature, click on the "Request" button when viewing the full record for a title, then follow the on-screen instructions (you will be prompted for your library card number and PIN). If you need further assistance, please contact your local librarian.
