BPL resources at your fingertips

Any Massachusetts resident can now access Boston Public Library electronic resources, audio, video and music resources as well as place holds on BPL materials with the BPL e-card. The library will issue a temporary e-card that will need to be upgraded within six months, simply apply online. Learn more by visiting the Boston Public Library webpage.

Dear Pesky Librarian,

A minor correction, the card will not require upgrading in 6 months but rather the BPL was testing the program for 6 months. Anyone who registers for an e-card will not lose access after 6 months. They (BPL) are in the process of making a final decision to move forward with this project beyound testing.

thanks!

Thanks Ken,
This is a great service, I look forward to using it in the weeks and months ahead. We will stay tuned to the BPL site to see how they proceed. Thanks again for the update.
