Library Card Sign up Month
Libraries are for everyone. We might be a bit biased, but we librarians love libraries! And we love making sure our patrons have full access to our beloved library with a library card.
With a Newburyport Public Library card, you have access to all the incredible resources we offer to our patrons here at the library and at home with a click of the mouse. Don’t have a library card? We can fix that. All you’ll need is:
- Proof of residency: This can be in the form of your ID with a Newburyport address. Did you just move here? Welcome! What we will need is your ID AND a piece of mail with your Newburyport address on it.
That’s it!
Did you lose your card? We’ll be happy to replace it for you. Speak to a librarian to get a replacement card.
Happy Reading!
Staying on Trend
Pickleball is incredibly popular now, but do you know what it is?
Pickleball is a sport invented back in 1965 in Washington State by three dads whose kids were bored with the normal summer time activities (many of us can relate!). It combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong and can be played indoors or outdoors. It’s versatility has made it extremely popular – so much that pickleball courts are springing up in vacant stores in malls!
Are you ready to get started? We can help with our pickleball kit!
Our pickleball kit has everything you need to get started, but beware – once you start, you will be hooked!
The kit can be reserved, as with all our other Library of Things items, for use. To find more information about our Library of Things collection, click here.
