Borrow

Library Cards

With an active Old Colony Library Network (OCLN) card, patrons may borrow library materials, use library computers, reserve museum or park passes, and much more. A library card provides access to all materials in the library without age restrictions, and it is the responsibility of parents or legal guardians to supervise the material selection of children. 

To get a card, individuals residing in OCLN member towns may register at their home library or at any other OCLN member library.  Just visit a library, fill out a short form, and provide proper identification that includes a current home address. Children under 16 must have a parent or legal guardian present to sign the registration form and provide proof of address.

Reserve a Museum or Parks Pass

Through the generosity and support of the Support Our Library Association (SOLA), the Stoughton Public Library is able to provide discount passes to many Massachusetts museums and parks.

  • Passes can be reserved online with an active adult OCLN library card.
  • Admission fees, discounts, and museum/park hours vary widely and are subject to change without notice.  We strongly recommend you contact the museum or park directly prior to reserving a pass.    
  • Only 1 reservation may be made per family per day and must be used for the day of the reservation.
