The Minuteman Library Network, founded in 1984, is an consortium of 41 public and academic libraries in the MetroWest area of eastern Massachusetts (not including Boston, which is served by the Boston Public Library) that share resources, patrons and services. The Network has over 6 million items and over 680,000 members. Because of the shared resources, borrowers are given access cards to any library in the Network.[1]
