Library cards
Get started with a library card, available to Boston residents at the Roslindale branch. Our branch of the BPL specializes in books for teens, along with religion, local history, health and children's picture books. The branch also maintains a collection of DVDs. If you can't find what you want in Roslindale, you can request books, CDs and DVDs online and they will be delivered to the Roslindale branch for you.
Here's how:
When you get your library card, you'll choose a password for online access. Log in to www.bpl.org to find what you're looking for. Use the search function, then click "hold this for me" to add the book or media to your list. You'll see where you stand on the waiting list, if there is one. The library uses automated calls to alert you when your materials are at the Roslindale branch, or sign up for e-mail alerts instead.
Museum Passes
The Friends sponsors the library's museum passes, available to any library cardholder. Reserve all passes in advance for a particular day. Plastic returnable passes are checked out like books and must be returned to the library after your visit. To get passes, contact the circulation desk at the library or go to bpl.org.
