"Your Library's library
brings my patrons
what
they want
when they want it.
It makes us
look good.
We shine even more."
What is CMRLS anyway?
CMRLS is your library’s library – a force behind the scenes, providing all you need to supercharge your library and champion greater success for people living, working and studying in central Massachusetts.
Our small staff delivers dozens of services to answer your library’s daily needs. We do it with a personal touch that fosters individual growth and collective power in over 250 libraries.
Every public library in the 72 communities served by CMRLS is already a member, with free and easy access to CMRLS’ knowledgeable and responsive staff; a comprehensive array of FREE services; and many opportunities to share ideas and collaborate.
Get involved!
If you’re a member librarian who hasn’t taken advantage of our multi-dimensional, in-depth service, just give us a call. And join us for sharing, learning and networking opportunities.
- Your library’s customers can take advantage of speedy delivery services and loads of online databases - all part of your CMRLS membership.
- In a staffing pinch? Try BiblioTemps®, CMRLS’ library temporary staffing service. We recruit able, professional and experienced staff to fill libraries’ staffing gaps and short-term needs for specific expertise.
