The Agawam Public Library belongs to the Central/Western Massachusetts Automated Resource Sharing, Inc. (CW/MARS). This is a network of public, academic, special, school, and regional libraries in central and western Massachusetts.

Patrons may now use one card to borrow materials at most of our surrounding public libraries. You may also return materials, pay overdue fines, and pay for lost items at any member library. Click here for a list of all CW/MARS libraries.
