Library Card:  Your Bolton library card will be honored at any public library in the state of Connecticut (provided it has not expired). Your first card is free--replacements cost $2.
C-Car:  You can return items borrowed from any Connecticut public library to any other public library in the state. Please be aware, however, that  you are ultimately responsible for any items that may go astray in the system.
Interlibrary Loan:  Bentley Memorial Library has access to reQuest, a statewide library catalog of 3 million titles, and the OCLC subsystem, an international database of 40 million records. If we do not own an item you want, we would be happy to borrow it from another library for your use. Such loans may take at least 10 days to complete, so please plan ahead for your requests.
Fax:  Bentley Memorial Library offers outgoing and incoming fax service at a cost of $1 per page (local numbers are free). The fax number is (860) 649-9059. Incoming calls can be received 24 hours a day; you will be notified during regular library hours.
