Searching for items

1. Check the NOBLE catalog first. This catalog contains the holdings of 17 North Shore public libraries and 10 academic libraries. You can request most items directly from the online catalog and have them delivered to the library of your choice.

2.Next check the Commonwealth Catalog which replaced the Massachusetts Virtual Catalog as of Spring 2015 and searches across Massachusetts libraries. Again, you can use your library card to request these items yourself.

3.If you cannot find the item in the Noble catalog or the Commonwealth Catalog, contact the library and we will attempt to find the item for you.

If you would like a staff member’s assistance with any of the above options, please call 781-231-4168 during library hours.
