The Minuteman Library Network, founded in 1984, is an organization of 41 public and academic libraries in eastern Massachusetts (not including Boston, which is served by the Boston Public Library) that share resources, patrons and services. The Network has over 1,171,000 titles and 622,000 members. Because of the shared resources, borrowers are given access cards to any library in the Network. It also provides for the delivery of material requests between member libraries.
