What should I do if I discover that a request is coming from a public library or a resident from a municipality that is not certified for State Aid?
Check with your supervisor if you do not know your library's official position on lending to that library or patron.
Massachusetts regulations concerning borrowing between public libraries receiving funds under the State Aid to Public Libraries program can be found here.
Not sure which libraries in Massachusetts are not certified? A list of libraries receiving State Aid and a list of libraries not receiving State Aid can be found on Mass. Board of Library Commissioners website.
