September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month, and what better way to celebrate than with some of the neat experiences and interesting things that a local library card can grant you?
Here in Southeastern Massachusetts, we have access to the Old Colony Library Network which enables our local libraries to have additional resources and benefits for our communities to share. The Old Colony Library Network is a cooperative that was founded in 1984 and consists of 28 member libraries. OCLN is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit corporation that provides member libraries with affordable access to a range of services.
If you’re wondering if your local library is part of the Old Colony Library Network, scroll to the bottom of this article to see the full list.

6) Free & discounted museum passes
Many of our local libraries offer free or discounted passes to museums and other attractions, giving you access to local experiences without breaking the bank. With your library card, you can borrow passes that discount tickets to places like the New England Aquarium, and the Plimoth Plantation. Be sure to swing by your local library and ask what passes are available for you to use!
