I feel blessed to live in a city with a wonderful library. The atheneum offers an array of services, programming, and a wide selection of items to borrow. In addition, the staff are friendly, efficient, and resourceful.

I enjoy coming here with my kids... they have a lot of planned activities for kids (in the Boys and Girls Library part) and summer reading program. The building is beautiful (1800's) and includes an area to exhibit art. They do have a museum as well but I am not sure it has been open due to the pandemic. Worth seeing all the same. Helpful staff and central location. Parking is on street as well as a parking lot (accessed from Court street - which has a ramp/wheelchair accessible entrance).

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

No. Just call first to verify the notary is available.

How much is it to give back a book that has been lost for a while but in perfect condition that the library owns the book is called the castle of shadows.

Hello! As long as the book is still in good condition and is listed on your library account as checked out to you, there is no charge if you return it to us.

Is there an application to download books?

Hi Debra, if you have a library card you don't need anything else. If you need a library card you can stop in to get one, but you need a valid form of ID (more info at westath.org/policies/borrowing-policies). With your card you can download the Overdrive or Libby apps (same collection, different interface) to access the CWMARS collection. You can also borrow from some of the other Massachusetts library networks. Lastly, as a Mass. resident you can also get a Boston Public Library e-card to get access to their collection. Please stop in the library if you need any help along the way. Thanks.

Can books be downloaded to nooks?

Karen Rockwell | Sep 13, 2018
Dan Paquette | Sep 13, 2018

It depends on which nook you are using. Newer nooks can download ebooks through Overdrive, but older nooks may not be able to any longer.
