About C/W MARS

Central/Western Massachusetts Automated Resource Sharing, Inc., is a library consortium dedicated to efficient resource sharing and rapid access to information.

Our 140+ member libraries circulate more than nine million items annually to one million registered borrowers. We offer a shared online computer system and combined collections of more than six million items. Due to the size and diversity of C/W MARS, services may vary at member libraries.

C/W MARS receives partial funding from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. Additional support comes from the Central and Western Massachusetts Regional Library Systems and members' fees.

Please contact the staff at your local C/W MARS member library if you have additional questions about C/W MARS or the services available to you via your library's membership in C/W MARS.
Thank you.
