Reciprocal Lending in Libby
Your CWMARS card will allow you to search and borrow electronic material from most Massachusetts Library Networks. Add some or all of the following networks to your account to reduce wait times, and access more material: Minuteman, NOBLE, SAILS, OCLN, CLAMS, MVLC, and Boston Public Library.
To add reciprocal lending networks to your Libby account:
- Log in to Libby (or log in at libbyapp.com) & click the Setting Icon in the center.
- Click “Add Library”
- Search for a library and click on the library name (ex. Minuteman Network)
- Click “Sign In With My Card”
- Click “13 More” under “Partner Libraries” to expand the list
- Select “CW MARS Patrons” from the list
- Enter your CW MARS card number and PIN and click “Sign In”
- In this example, our card is now linked to the Minuteman Network which is our partner library in reciprocal lending, and you are set up for reciprocal lending which means that you can search the Minuteman catalog of e-books and audiobooks, borrow and place holds and see your holds and borrowed items in one place.
- Now add other library networks including: Minuteman, NOBLE, SAILS, OCLN, CLAMS, Merrimack Valley Library Consortium, and the Boston Public Library.

Use your Leverett Library card to sign into the Commonwealth Catalog, or ComCat to find those special items that aren't in the CW MARS catalog. When you place a hold, items will be shipped to Leverett, or the library of your choice, for pickup. Return them to your library when you are done and they will be shipped back to their owning library. Commonwealth Catalog items come from other Massachusetts networks as well as some universities.
