If you have trouble getting to the library you can designate a friend or relative to borrow on your behalf.

In the case where an adult cardholder cannot come to the library on his or her own he or she may authorize someone else to borrow items on his/her card. This authorization will be in effect until canceled. All items borrowed during this time are the responsibility of the cardholder. This arrangement will be honored only at the Forbes Library and not necessarily at other CW MARS member libraries.

To authorize a proxy borrow please complete and return the following form:

If you do not yet have a library account you will need to register for one first. If you are unable to visit the library in person to obtain a library card, contact info@forbeslibrary.org or call 413-587-1017 to request an application be mailed.
