Question
Can I access the Minuteman on-line catalog on the Web?
Yes, library users can access the Minuteman Library Network's on-line catalog to find out if Goodnow or another library in the Network owns a particular item. The web address for the catalog is:
http://library.minlib.net. Access to the catalog itself does not require a library card number; access to bibliographic databases made available by the state does require this number. Access to your account information or placing requests requires both a library card number and a PIN (available from your home library).
How do I get a library card?
If you already have a library card from any of the members of the Minuteman Library Network, you can use that card at the Goodnow Library. If not, bring some identification (such as a driver's license) to the library. In a few minutes, after filling out a simple form, you will have a card good throughout the Minuteman network.
Download a Microsoft Word version of the application form from the Library's Documents page by Clicking Here
How long can I keep the library materials I checked out?
