CW/MARS (Central/Western Mass. Automated Resource Sharing). http://www.cwmars.org/ "Over 140 member libraries circulate more than nine million items annually to one million registered borrowers...offer a shared online computer system and combined collections of more than six million items." If your local library does not have a particular item, you can search the catalogs of the consortium members and request that it be sent to you for pick-up at a convenient public library. In order to request an item, you need to use the long number found on the back of your public library card.
