get a boston public library card
All residents of MA over 13 years old who have an email address can get an eCard in about five minutes and start using it right away. eCards can be used to access digital resources from the BPL. But if you want to borrow physical items, you can upgrade to a physical library card at any of our locations.
An eCard opens the door to free e-books and audiobooks; online database subscriptions; streaming music, television, and video; digital magazines and newspapers; online language learning programs, career resources, and more.
