CW MARS eCard for Electronic Materials

CW MARS logo 

Get a CW MARS eCard

CW MARS has rolled out an electronic library card (eCard) to allow patrons without library cards faster access to their local library’s electronic collections. The CW MARS eCard makes library content more accessible for patrons who have difficulty physically getting to the library or who primarily borrow electronic content (such as eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines, and databases). The eCard can be upgraded to a full library card by visiting your local CW MARS library.

The eCard is for patrons who do not already have a CW MARS library card and may be upgraded to a physical library card with borrowing privileges by visiting your local library. For more information about the eCard, read our FAQ.

You are eligible to apply for a CW MARS eCard, if you…

Contact your local library if you are not eligible to register online or to renew an expired card.

CW MARS eCard: "No library card? No problem! With a CW MARS eCard, your library is always open. Sign up for instant access to audiobooks, eBooks, magazines and more! Access free audiobooks with an eCard!"

Funding for electronic content is provided by CW MARS member libraries, and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
