Regional Services
Regional services include interlibrary loan, reference and referral, delivery of materials between libraries, continuing education, technical assistance, database access, bookmobile services, cooperative purchasing programs, supplemental deposit collections of print and nonprint materials and the Summer Reading Program.
Each member library belongs to a regional users council that is governed with bylaws approved by member libraries and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. Members annually elect officers and other delegates forming the Executive Board that conducts business supported by several standing committees. Regional activities and responsibilities are approved by the regional members at their annual November membership meeting in the form of a Plan of Service and Program Budget.
The Regional Library System Web sites have detailed information regarding the services they offer their members:
