Access & Borrowing

Library Cards
Milton residents may obtain a free library card good at all public libraries in the Old Colony Library Network by showing identification with a full name and current address. Children must be at least five years old to obtain a card. Lost cards may be replaced at a cost of $3.00. For your protection, please report lost cards immediately. You may also upgrade your old card design to the new design shown at right for a $3 fee.
