Lynn Item online

Posted on by Alan Thibeault

There has been a change to how our patrons may access Itemlive.com, the online version of the Lynn Item.

Saugus Public Library will continue to offer the print edition of the Lynn Item in the Reading Room on the First Floor. We will also continue to offer patrons to access Itemlive.com via our website. However, Itemlive.com can now only be accessed inside our building – either from one of our public computers or on a personal device connected to our WiFi.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
