Check out all the virtual events, e-resources, and videos available to you by Massachusetts libraries on the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners Virtual Events Calendar, First Lady of the Commonwealth and Massachusetts Libraries' Video Library, and We're in this Together: Free Digital Library.
In this difficult time, libraries are more important than ever, urge your legislators to support libraries.
Libraries have moved their programs online!
There are so many offerings to choose from, so we have given you eight calendars spanning Massachusetts. But you don't need to be nearby, so feel free to explore them all.
As the Covid-19 crisis continues and more people are staying home, cultural institutions, nonprofits, and companies are making resources free for all to access. We have collected some of these for Massachusetts residents to use.
The following resources are a mix of what libraries always provide for free, and new resources that are free for now. To gain access to what is available through libraries, you will need a library card. If you currently do not have one, but you live or work in Massachusetts, you can sign up for a BPL eCard which will allow you to use all of their online resources. You can sign up for an eCard on the BPL website.
The Automated Library Networks in Massachusetts also offer online eCards to access digital resources.
There are even more online resources available to you through your local library's website. You can find your local library through the library directory.
